Outrage sparked over not losing weight


It’s really mean & cheap on the part of media & fans who are demanding Aishwarya to lose weight. And what’s this crap that she has god-damn duty towards her fans? It’s her life & just like any other person, she also needs space. I’m glad she has defended her choice by saying she simply wants to 'enjoy motherhood.' 

Only cheap fans could post videos about Aiswarya’s weight gain. I believe she’s a mother first & it’s good that she has chosen motherhood. The rest may demand all sorts of crazy things. Who are they in the first place? Anyhow they do like to make noise: 

“She is a Bollywood actress and it is her duty to look good and fit.” 

Another comment: “She needs to learn from people like Victoria Beckham who are back to size zero weeks after their delivery.” 



However, some people have come out in support as well. I had no intention to write about this but how can one keep mum about these trends! Sometimes they want women to put on weight. As far as I can recall, they were all supporting plus size models few days ago & now when an actress has put on weight after having a baby, they are all set against her. I believe when the time will be right, she’s gonna shed weight. After all, she’s an actress. Why do people have to put so much pressure on her? It’s been just seven months. 



Speaking of which reminds me of the two year old cat Meow who recently died. Yeah he was a very fat cat but what killed him is the fact that people wanted him to lose weight just like that. His 87 year old owner fed him whatever she ate herself but she never starved him to death. However, she had to give him to the shelter cause of his weight problem. They could have dealt with the problem there but he traveled to another place in a plane & that could be a traumatic experience for an animal. Then they were giving him special diet. Suddenly he developed breathing problem & he died. They solely put the blame on obesity. Just how they want humans to lose or put on weight, they expected an innocent cat to shed weight in no time. They were all in a hurry. I don’t blame anyone. I’m sure they all cared about him, but he’s the one who is dead. 



I don’t understand why gaining or losing weight is such a big issue with people. Why do they have to dictate their terms to someone else? They put so much pressure on models & size zero that innumerable models have died due to anorexia.

Stupid trends


More than this question, ‘When did a bag of bones become hotter than a woman having full figure?’ I find this trend of telling us what is right for every woman rather dumb. Every 10 years the media has to tell us what is sexy. They want women to stay complex & worry about their weight. That is not fair...they should accept plus-size as well as zero size women without making noise. 

Moreover, how can one size & shape be okay for everyone? That’s a pertinent question. One decade they tell us that you better become a bag of bones as that is sexy & the next decade, it’s another story. It’s good that in Israel they have banned very thin models. At least in that country, models don’t have to be anemic, bulimic or starve to be become size zero. Obsession with size zero is a dangerous thing but you also can’t make women put on weight overnight as suddenly it has dawned on some media people that having a full figure is all the more sexy. 

Some women are extra thin without going on a diet ever...that is fine. But yeah if you have to starve yourself & die later on, then it's stupidity. But you can't blame these models. It's the pressure from the field. Physical fitness is something essential. And that surely doesn't mean starving yourself. But this entire trend that changes every 10 year is annoying. Sexy is something that every woman has the right to define for herself & it could be different for every woman. We don't need idiots to define that for us every 10 years. Having one shape & size is not possible, cause women have different frames (thin, medium & large)...they should accept everyone. This doesn’t mean that you shouldn’t take care of your figure. Maybe you need to shed weight & you should work on it. 

Moreover, these kinds of trend & women like Samantha Brick & Sarah Barge breed complexes in other women. They make you wonder that something is missing. I’m also against this comparison between size zero & plus size models. There ought to be an end to this disgusting comparison. Whatever makes a woman happy, she should opt for that.

Honestly, when I look back…yeah I find women such Marilyn Monroe, Sophia Lauren, Elizabeth Taylor, Parveen Babi, Zeenat Aman far more sexy & beautiful than what I see today. I remember few days ago, they came up with the best beach body thingy & thank God Marilyn was on top of that list but some other women who have got full figures didn’t look all that great. It’s just that they were wearing bikinis & that’s the reason why the media thinks they are sexy. At the same time, some women walk in wearing nothing underneath their see through gowns & they too are regarded sexy by the media. I think we all need a break. 

PEOPLE’s magazine has chosen Beyonce as the most beautiful woman this year but I just couldn’t understand the damn criteria for awarding the title to a woman who wears fur & doesn’t give a damn as to the sufferings of animals. What can we do if she has given birth to a baby this year? Is this a good enough reason to label someone as beautiful? She may talk about her love for her baby girl & how beautiful she feels at the moment, I guess any sane woman will be madly in love with her children, but a beautiful woman ought to be sensitive & caring about others. Anyone can be sensitive about himself/herself & about their own kids. 

Anyhow, what is beautiful & sexy for one person may not be beautiful & sexy for another. This has nothing to do with jealousy, but we all admire different things & that’s our right. Since the media would never stop making these weird comparisons, I can’t say this nonsense should end, because I know it won’t. Moreover, some women are just extra thin & there's nothing appealing about them whereas some women are healthy, but they look extremely pretty. After having kids, many women tend to put on weight & in spite of trying hard, they somehow cannot loose that extra weight...now does that make them less attractive?  Some women try hard to put on weight & yet they never succeed.

I think size & shape could only matter to shallow people out there. I’d rather want a man who’d like me as a person than someone who is interested in me just because of my looks & figure. I’m all for physical fitness but frankly speaking, I really don’t know what is going on diet means, cause I’ve never tried it out in my life. There are several other healthy ways to keep yourself fit. And what I think about myself is far more important than what the world is telling me. 

I think we need to get rid of complexes & make it a better world. Telling others what is right for them ain’t going to work. We must accept everyone the way they are. Anyone can be beautiful…you just have to have the eye for that person. Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder & I don’t think it has anything to do with what media thinks shamelessly every decade. 

 Many a times we say women have the right to be strong. In the same way, women have the right to define sexy for themselves & stay happy!

Cindy Crawford Feels Like An Outsider Amongst Size Zero Models



Cindy Crawford with her kids

45 year old Cindy Crawford, the former supermodel of the 1980s admits that she feels like an outsider now looking looking at the size zero models today.

She said she started modelling as a normal size ten but now girls are very skinny. She does feel that today the job has become more demanding for the models as compared to her days. In her days, size six was normal but now it is either two or zero.

Words from a former supermodel like her, only adds to the issue of having skinny and unhealthy models as they give unrealistic expectations to younger women.

Cindy said she eats well and works out so that her daughter Kala (9 years) and son Presley (11 years) are aware about the right choices regarding health and looks. She feels her kids should not think that they will look attractive if they are uber skinny because that is unhealthy.

I think these are very smart and relevant comments from a successful and smart lady such as Cindy Crawford. She was hot in whatever size she was. Size zero models can look slightly painful at times and they make things for others way too tough. They put intense pressure on other girls and women to look skinny hot and it is definitely unrealistically aspirational that not many women can apply in their lives.

Sonakshi Sinha Has Broken The Size Zero Trend




The trend of having size zero figures and surf board abs is fast witnessing a decline in bollywood. Thanks to Sonakshi Sinha's look in her debut film Dabangg, the Indian woman with her curvaceous, well rounded and voluptuous look is in vogue again.

Though her rustic, Indian attired look was never designed to unleash a fashion coup, but eventually it has done so. Gone are the days when size zero was the standard evaluation of a heroines total worth, Sonakshi Sinha seems to have undone that trend. And the actress has no qualms about taking credit for this new trend.

Speaking about bringing the Indian woman back as an ideal sex symbol, Sonakshi says, "People have told me they are happy that the full-figured Indian heroine is back. I have broken the size zero mould. I don't agree with the concept of being stick thin. At the end of the day, Indian men want women who are well-rounded, voluptuous and curvaceous, someone they can hold."

Oh God, I don't know what to say now. I feel she is a bit over sized. Overly rounded, voluptuous and the curves were not that visible. I definitely feel a smart well toned body is a must for visual cinema not heaps of flesh with tonnes of support from daddy and Khan brothers. I agree looking at her 3rd picture, she did work out on reducing her weight for her personal motivation but that's her own thing.
