I don't want to be size zero any more: Kareena Kapoor

MUMBAI: Size zero is out for actress Kareena Kapoor. In her next release, Kambakht Ishq, she plays a surgeon who moonlights as a supermodel and for the role she has put on a few extra pounds.

"I weigh 54 kg now, which for a girl of my height is quite fine. People used to  wonder what 'size zero' is and I'd joke, 'Just look at me'. I don't want that any more. I want to look like a normal healthy girl. My forthcoming releases required me to get back to a fuller shape,"  said Kareena, who sported a size zero look in Tashan and Golmaal Returns.

"In Kambakht Ishq, my character flies to Italy to become a supermodel to support herself financially. I didn't want to play the character looking like an international model because she's basically in another profession. So she can't really have the figure of Victoria Beckham, can she? I had to look more filled up," she said.

In Mr & Mrs Khanna too, Kareena is sporting the same look.

"Again, for my next release Mr & Mrs Khanna with Salman Khan, I play a wife. So I wanted to look more filled up. Not that wives can't be curvaceous. The one I played in 'Golmaal Returns' certainly was," she said.
