Bollywood celebrities are health and fitness icons for many. Several actors have either lost weight or gained weight for their movies. Some do it even before stepping into the industry. Be it for a role or for personal satisfaction, our fave B-town stars have given us several examples of ever-changing body-types. Here are a few that were memorable.
a) Kareena Kapoor’s size zero moment
This one was the biggest talking point for the country at the time, partly because no one knew that size zero even existed as a concept. Bebo being one of the most prominent faces of the industry, heralded a phase where waist size was more important than the plot of the film.
b) Alia Bhatt dropping the kilos for ‘Student Of The Year’
When you look at this throwback photo of Alia with mom, Soni Razdan, we’re sure you understand just how much went into looking like the glam Shanaya. It’s like the actress went from baby-face to baby-who?
c) Bhumi Pednekar gaining weight for ‘Dum Laga Ke Haisha’ and then losing it
Hers was one of the most genuine body transformations in recent times. Her role in DLKH might have justified the weight, she was quick to drop the pounds in her next film, Toilet: Ek Prem Katha’.
d) Sonakshi Sinha’s transformation
Sonakshi’s fitness journey has been a very public one. Since she’s a well-built woman, people were quick to pile on the judgement. However, in the past 10 years, she’s only gone on to get progressively fitter.
e) Sara Ali Khan’s weight loss
Being the daughter of two actors, Sara’s journey has also been quite public, even though she was away from the limelight for 20-something years. However, Sara lost all the weight before joining the film industry.
