Irrespective of the importance that people and actors gave to the concept of size zero, it was Vidya Balan who said what wasn’t expected from a Bollywood A-lister. Vidya, who showed no qualms in flaunting her curves in ‘The Dirty Picture’, had said she was all for the Indian woman's curvaceous body.

“The only zero I am associated with is the zero cholesterol and zero trans-fat that are feature of snacks (which she endorses)... and yes, the zeroes that come in my cheque," Vidya had said. "I like the curvaceous Indian woman's body. And if I may say so, I am well-endowed," she was quoted as saying.

But the actor is now keen on doing what hasn’t been expected from her. The oh-so-curvaceous actor will soon be seen losing all the flab she has put on in recent months. For these are the instructions which director Sujoy Ghosh has given her before she starts shooting ‘Kahaani 2’. Since, the sequel to ‘Kahaani’ will require to flaunt a leaner and fitter look, she can’t afford to look fat.

“I want to start shooting Kahaani 2 from May next year. Vidya needs to be very agile in the film,” Sujoy has told a tabloid.  “Given the kind of person Vidya is who can both gain and lose weight easily, this shouldn’t be a tall task for her,” he added.

Could this also be an offshoot of Salman Khan’s ex-flame Katrina Kaif’s decision to lose weight for her next project? The competition between female actors is getting intense, it seems!
