Vidya Balan insists that she has lost all that weight only for herself. “My conscience was screaming at me. I had become a little lax, and thought it was high time...” says the actress who may have burnt the fat, but has managed to preserve those curves. So here she is, feeling lighter and oomphier, all thanks to four-five days of exercise per week, and a good, nutritional diet. “I was made to realise that working out wasn’t so much about weight loss than it was about fitness.Having disposed off - apart from the weight - some expensive designer wear from her wardrobe, one would think that the vacant space now houses the likes of spaghetti tops, sexy halters, minis... “I may have lost weight, but little has changed,” confesses Vidya, “I still love Indian outfits; So no, I haven’t gone berserk shopping for those halters. I’ve instead indulged in the usual: jeans, white kurtas, tracks...”
But doesn’t her desi avatar become a limitation when new age cinema is defined by size zero bods and bikini tops? “Filmmakers know what you can and what you can’t pull off,” explains the actress, “Maybe I’m the first person they think of when considering the quintessential Indian girl. That’s an advantage I come with. Indian women are blessed with beautiful bodies; we ought to celebrate our curves. And that’s the space I am in! Sexy isn’t about wearing less clothes, it’s about being full-bodied,” adds Vidya, who’ll next be seen in Vishal Bhardwaj’s Ishqiya, where she oozes raw Indian sexuality.
