Ms Kareena Kapoor, 30, is known as the actress who triggered the size zero phenomenon in India.

In the 2008 film Tashan, the Bollywood A-list actress, almost overnight, dropped 8kg to 48kg for a bikini scene that ultimately became the most talked-about part of the film.

The 1.65m-tall actress continued to look thinner and thinner, evoking the envy of young Indian women and the concern of others.

‘Every girl wants to be really slim and I think I am quite slim,’ the actress famously said in an interview. ‘India’s size zero is associated with me and I am proud of that.’

Normally the stars of Bollywood’s tinsel town are quite fearful of critics but Kareena Kapoor seems to have no stress when it comes to them.

Just recently, we hear an esteemed critic personally paid the Bollywood’s number one actress quite a compliment.

Boney Kapoor is maha excited. Not over Wanted, his September blockbuster that got close to Rs 40 crore billing, but by his January releaseMilenge Milenge — which is the last time you will see Kareena Kapoor and Shahid Kapoor romantically paired on screen.

I don’t have to tell you the film’s been in the making for a while, but Boney is confident it will be successful. “I can feel it in my bones,” he said emphatically, “why should it not work, it’s a good love story, it’s got fantastic music.” But what about the chemistry between Kareena and Shahid, I asked. “That’s there,” Boney declared, “besides, once the lights are off in the theatre, you forget whether they are a couple or not, and they become characters.”
