Kareena started losing weight for Yashraj films’ Tashan and since then, her size zero has attracted much attention. Kareena says, “Before this film started I knew that for this character to look different than what I have done before, I have to train really hard to kind of change the shape of my body.

A lot of actresses abroad do that, they work on one film at a time, change their look for a particular film body wise as well, people lose weight or put on weight as required for the character. For Tashan it was a conscious effort to change my body structure and work towards it because I wanted to look lean. The character involves a lot of action, and I think a lean girl doing action always looks much better.

I trained really hard for about eight to nine months and was on a strict diet regime because that’s the only way this will look different from every other film. The response has been phenomenal. I am actually enjoying it and have got used to it.”
