What your saying really does make sense, yes Kareena has lost a hellova lotta charm that used to be pretty obvious...(even to the people who didnt really like her...like me)..But then i think we're in a minority here cuz' ive heard about a million(okay exaggeration) people call it 'hot'...in fact, think about it...if someone says "oh, you've lost weight"..we immediately take it as a compliment...somewhere, not too deep in our psyche..we've conditioned ourselves into believing thin is most definitely 'in' and something to aspire towards...do people even realize fat/heavy/non-thin people can look beautiful?...yes, if your lucky..then you still look good INSPITE of your weight..cuz weight is the enemy..*sigh*..<BR/><BR/>JIST: Its all about demand...society demands waif like figures..Film stars provide them..and give us something to (sadly) aspire to...<BR/><BR/>Btw...your blog...fantastic stuff!...consider it inspirational.<BR/>:)Samsterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11591812109338593810noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34788771.post-78539135236744493332008-05-06T19:22:00.000+05:302008-05-06T19:22:00.000+05:30About the show: I exactly agree with your point ab...About the show: I exactly agree with your point about having money and success and wanting to flaunt it. I remember Dr. Mallya said the exact same thing when he was being interviewed by Mr. Thapar on Devil's advocate and was asked if he should tone down his flashy lifestyle fater being an MP to not insult the many hungry and homeless. Apart from that, not many conclusions from the debate on the show. <BR/><BR/>I am one of the many women that obsess over our weight. The problem I had with Kareena's body is two fold. I read the story on ibn first and I wondered why it had to be on the must-read list on a national news website? This I ask especially after reading Hindol Sengupta at IBN write how the "cheap" news channels increased their TRPs by showing the LFW malfunction. I am sorry I know I should not lash out at you for what IBN choses to be its must-read. It again goes back to the Page3 debate. But then I dont mind reading such news on say BUzz18 or your blog or something. Heck, I actually visit fashion blogs to read all the gossip. I feel cheated when I visit IBN and am told that the most important news item of the day was Kareena's body!!<BR/><BR/>On the second count, although I agree its her body and she has every right to do whatever she pleases to do with it, I hate the fact that the movie's promos were entirely based on the Kareena's new sexy look! Like you already mentioned, it sends a totally wrong message to all the young girls who idolize Kareena. Given my weight obsession, I know how long it took for me to respect my body and like it the way it is. These kind of conflicting messages do nothing for people like me. I will stop now and will let you do the writing here :)Never Mind!!https://www.blogger.com/profile/00743537362678602058noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34788771.post-10667124718786542782008-05-05T16:03:00.000+05:302008-05-05T16:03:00.000+05:30Aiiii....

While its a "thankyou" for all the kind words, go easy...some of us can be quite insufferable with bloated egos (and already have a huge ego!) <BR/>As for putting on weight... i can safely say the camera adds 5 kgs. :D I weight a 44kgs and am quite happy having put on some kilos. Just that now i have to keep it at that! Problem being that the happier I get the "fattier" I get too!

Will agree wholeheartedly to sticking to our frames AND to the fact that it's Kareena's job to look good. However, I don't think all of us change our looks or want to look better only when we are paid for it! But guess we all agree that as long as we dont get maniacal about looking good, tis all cool. <BR/>And, welcome to Eve*!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34788771.post-44066813146535916742008-05-04T20:57:00.000+05:302008-05-04T20:57:00.000+05:30you are so honest!and smart.and spunky.you are lik...you are so honest!and smart.and spunky.you are like a new age female icon atleast for me.and *ahem* dont mind me saying, but i think u have put on a little weight after the ndtv show.Shrutihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09625213948475513631noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34788771.post-88157323067655665112008-05-04T15:10:00.000+05:302008-05-04T15:10:00.000+05:30i agree with u there jhoomur! since d media plays ...i agree with u there jhoomur! since d media plays a big influence on impressionable minds....lets not tout kareena's healthy/unhealthily engineered look as an epitome...there are millions of women who are well endowed and content in their own frames.the idea is to be healthy and happy and not a wannabe.lets admit it, if we were paid dat kind of money for looking like dat, it wud have been worth it but since we arent in d business we should rather stick to r own frame<BR/><BR/>RiaJab I Write....https://www.blogger.com/profile/04967027706977366067noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34788771.post-38147730597971625202008-05-03T18:41:00.000+05:302008-05-03T18:41:00.000+05:30You do notice a lot dont you! ;) As for not smilin...You do notice a lot dont you! ;) As for not smiling, was too busy keeping track of who was saying what why and how not to sound stupid. <BR/>wrt Kareena, would agree that perhaps her director demanded it... The big issue is how her weight loss -- with the professional advice -- can trigger a "trend" that has women trying for the look, unhealthily. Spice Girls in the UK and their sudden weight loss had triggered something similar and I think the group apologised for starting a 'negative' trend too. Remember Aamir Khan's spiked hair looked from Dil Chahta Hai? Within two days of the movie releasing you had boys changing their hairstyles. DrAnup Dhir from Apollo - cosmetic surgeon - will tell you how men come to him to 'get' Hrithik's abs... Kareena is one of the leading ladies we have today and one who is seen as a style icon. Her friend, actress Amrita Arora is already following in Bebo's footsteps. Achieving a certain body type through healthy means isn't bad...but what about those who dont have the means and simply ape with disastrous consequences?<BR/><BR/>To give some credit to Kareena, she did put on weight for Omkara. Actors experimenting with their looks is a healthy phenomenon and should be encouraged. Perhaps we in the media need to portray it as such and not as THE look to have either.
