Kareena’s size zero figure has been a much-talked-about topic in gossip columns and shows, and she has flaunted her skinny look in many a magazine covers. But, are Indian women ready to take the size zero route? Kareena herself is no longer a size zero and has gained a lot of her weight back. So, what’s with the obsession?
Women have been known for their obsession with their body shape and figure. According to a recent survey released by cosmetics company Garnier, 7% of British women think about their body 50 times a day and that another 20% worry about their body shape 10 times a day.
The body shape these women crave for is not the slim figure of Kate Moss or Victoria Beckham but the enviable curves of Kylie Minogue and Catherine Zeta Jones. Thus they give a clear insight into what women really think when it comes to body shape and image.
Although the glam world has been glorifying thin figures for years now, women in day-to-day life do not want such thin bodies. They prefer that perfectly flat but firm stomach and don’t mind the curves. Not only do they fit into all clothes nicely, life also becomes easy when you are not trying to get anorexic to get that ‘twig’ figure. It is not surprising then that the hour-glass figure has been attracting the world for ages now.
One of the prime reasons for this fetish for curves is because traditionally we have been seeing that our mothers, aunts and other women we interact with in our daily lives are women with curves and are not skinny. Most men subconsciously prefer women with curves as it coincides with a woman's ability to conceive children. People do not see the models flaunting thin bodies as a girl-next-door image. Women want to fill the dresses they wear to get that perfect fit.
Meanwhile, do not misunderstand these curves to be fat. You can't disguise an overweight woman. Women prefer to have voluptuous figures but not obese. As already mentioned, bulges at the breasts and butts are liked but not when they fill out your tummies. In fact too big a butt or breast is also not liked by many.
However, it is a thing of the past when women tied a cloth around their breasts in order to make them appear thin and to get flat figures. Today voluptuous butts and breasts are called assets… and the policy is to “Flaunt it if you’ve got it”. Today’s real women disagree with media experts who claim size zero is in. They believe that “Real women have curves.”

According to sources, Saif had asked for a selection of diamond rings from this jeweller based out of Bandra. They sent him rings of different cuts and carats. He had asked for princess cut diamonds and also a few other shapes.
He took his time deciding on the perfect ring for his girl and finally took the one he liked about a week back, added the source.
Kareena had earlier told a newspaper, "of course, I want to marry Saif. Doesn't every woman want to take her relationship to the next level? Saif and I are definitely going to marry. I am a lucky girl. There is love, so there can never be any infidelity."
Ritu Kumar is reportedly designing Kareena's wedding outfit as Saif's mother Sharmila Tagore has an old association with the designer. When we approached the designer, she refused to divulge any details: "They are my personal friends and I would not like to comment about it."
Saif and Kareena are currently shooting together for 'Agent Vinod'.
Kareena is in seventh heaven. Back in the saddle as the No. 1 Bollywood diva, she says, I have three films on the list of the six highest grossing films in Hindi cinema. Bodyguard, 3-Idiots and Golmaal-3. I'm ecstatic.''
Kareena says Bodyguard has crossed 82 crore in just five days making it a mammoth hit and her biggest one. Trade sources say Bodyguard will not succeed in breaking the 3 Idiots overall record. But of course at this stage everything we speak on the subject is a conjecture.
As for Salman Khan, he is the No. 1 Khan and the No. 1 hero because he has Bodyguard, Dabangg and Ready on the list of the highest grossers. Aamir has 3 Idiots and Ghajini, while Ajay Devgn has Golmaal-3.
"Kareena had earlier demanded Rs 8 crore. After several meetings, she has now decided to slash her fee. However, she will now be a part of the profit sharing rights. The producers have worked it out in a way that Kareena ends up getting Rs 8 crore out of the project," a source told Mumbai Mirror.
Kareena Kapoor would be the first female actor, to have signed a profit sharing agreement for a film. Earlier actors like Salman Khan, SRK, Aamir Khan and Imran Khan have been in similar arrangements.
We hope that Madhur's film is finally unjinxed!
The actor celebrated his 41st birthday while staying at the exclusive Claridges hotel, according to The Times of India.
A source told the paper: "Last week they were shooting for Agent Vinod, but nobody knew what Kareena had planned for Saif's birthday. She requested Saif's production partner Dinesh Vijan for five days off from the shoot to whisk him off to London.
"This year, Saif's birthday plans have been kept completely quiet and nobody except their families know where they are. They are staying at their favourite hotel Claridges.
"Kareena even made all the arrangements for the birthday dinner on Tuesday night at an exclusive resto-bar in London."
The actress kept the plans lowkey because her boyfriend prefers to keep their personal lives private, the source said.
In June, it was rumoured that Kapoor would have her waxwork at Madame Tussauds unveiled on her boyfriend's birthday.
The pair are reportedly planning to get married by the end of 2012 and set an official engagement date around Valentine's Day.
For months on end, we were told that a wax statue of Kareena Kapoor was being prepared for the famous Madame Tussauds in London.
She was going to be immortalised in her Chameli avatar, and her statue would be unveiled on August 15, fortuitously just a day before beau Saif Ali Khan's 41st birthday. As it turns out, not everything is what it seems.
According to sources, the 'Chameli' look has not been finalised and her wax statue won't be displayed in the famous museum, but a new branch somewhere in Blackpool, a small town in north west England.
"Initially, the Kareena camp leaked reports that her wax statue was to be unveiled on August 15.
Now that the date is upon us, they are saying the event has been postponed to October and that the statue might be unveiled in Blackpool, " said a source, adding that no 'Chameli' look was ever finalised.
So far, six Indians have found place at Madame Tussauds, a museum of wax statues.
These include Sachin Tendulkar, Amitabh Bachchan, Shahrukh Khan, Salman Khan, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, and early this year, Hrithik Roshan.
A person close to Kapoor requesting anonymity, claimed that while the statue will be unveiled in Blackpool, it will later be transported to the famous museum in London.
"Bebo's statue will be unveiled at a new Madame Tussauds in Blackpool and later transported to London. The idea is to start off a new Madame Tussauds in Blackpool with Bebo's statue, " he said.
On Kapoor's look for the statue, he agreed that none has been finalised.
"Designer Manish Malhotra was given the job of deciding Bebo's look at Madame Tussauds and he gave three options -- her characters in Karan Johar's Kabhi Khushi Kabhi Gham, Imtiaz Ali's Jab We Met and Sudhir Mishra's Chameli. But the final look is yet to be decided."
Another friend of Kapoor's appeared angry at the insinuations that she has been generating the stories. "Bebo is not a nobody who needs to plant stories, trying to prove how she is in demand, " she said.

Kareena Kapoor has filmed a bathing sequence for new release Bodyguard.Filmed under a waterfall, the scene is inspired by Mandakini's translucent wet sari sequence in Ram Teri Ganga Maili.
Director Atul Agnihotri commented: "We shot the love song 'Teri Meri Prem Kahaani' with Salman Khan and Kareena recently. Kareena looked absolutely stunning in the sari.
"The audiences will surely enjoy the song and fall in love with her all over again."
The romantic track between Kapoor and Khan was completed in a three-day schedule at Mumbai's Film City.
Choreographer and Just Dance judge Vaibhavi Merchant worked with the actress on the production.
Mandakini retired from acting in 1999, marrying a Buddhist monk and becoming involved with the Tibetan movement in India.
Bodyguard, which unveiled its first teaser last month, is scheduled to release August 31.

The Ra.One star picked the designer to create an outfit for her planned wedding to Saif Ali Khan in early 2012, claims Mumbai Mirror.
"Ritu Kumar has a longstanding relationship with Saif's mum Sharmila Tagore, who has also walked the ramp for her on several occasions," a source told the newspaper.
"Kumar even photographed Sharmila and Mansoor Ali Khan Pataudi for her coffee table on the costumes and textiles of Indian royalty in the '90s, where Sharmila wore the traditional Bhopali farshi paijama and dupatta that she wore on her wedding day in December 1969."
The choice of Delhi-based Kumar has suprised many commentators, who had expected Kapoor to choose her friend, Bollywood costume designer Manish Malhotra.
Kapoor and Khan will reportedly announce an official date for their wedding in the next few weeks.
The couple will be seen together in upcoming spy action thriller Agent Vinod.
The film was shelved after lead actress Aishwarya Rai Bachchan announced her pregnancy.
Kapoor is quoted by the Mumbai Mirorr as saying: "The whole world knows that Heroine is my movie, that it was written for me and Madhur was in talks with me. I couldn't do it because of date problems so he moved on. What happened in between is not my concern.
"I don't have any dates until January next year, so I'm not going to sign on any movie until October. I'm really keen to work with Madhur, but you'll have to wait for an official announcement."
Kapoor was Bhandarkar's original choice for the film but the 30-year-old had reportedly refused the project because she felt the content was too bold for her.
However, Kapoor denied that she had ever insisted on 'toning down' the movie's intimate scenes, saying: "I liked the script that was narrated to me. If the director is open to discussion, we'll talk more ... He brings out a different side to an actor.
"I've always been an experimental actor rather than just a singing-dancing, glamorous star. I made my debut with the off-beat Refugee and did Chameli when I was 22. I'm open to all kinds of cinema."
Although Kapoor was the original choice for the title role, the movie was launched at this year's Cannes Film Festival with Rai Bachchan in the part.
MUMBAI: Bollywood actress Karena Kapoor has credited her glow to a healthy balanced diet and yoga. Kareena Kapoor is in the habit if practicing yoga on a daily basis and indulges in a strict routine of two hours of power yoga everyday followed by uninterrupted meditation.
A source close to the star says that yoga has not just done wonders for Kareena and has filled her with a lot of positive energy that reflects on her face.
MUMBAI: Apparently, Kareena Kapoor has been signed on for the ‘Once Upon A Time In Mumbai’ sequel, opposite Akshay Kumar.While there was speculation about everyone from Katrina Kaif to Priyanka Chopra being approached for the role of the gangster's glamorous moll, it's Bebo who has walked away with the honours!
MUMBAI: Indian actress Karishma Kapoor will make her comeback after five years in an upcoming 3D film. After Hollywood, the 3D craze has also taken India by storm. Maybe it is this new trend that convinced Karishma to make her comeback.
