"I have not touched bread, rice or even roti for the last 4 years. I can't even remember the last time I had a roti. My diet consists mainly of fruits and vegetables. Almost throughout the day I have a glass of juice, either carrot/ orange/ watermelon or a glass of coconut water."
- Bollywood newcomer Ayesha Takia, speaking to Sunday Midday
She is 3 movies old - two duds (Taarzan, Dil Maange More) and one semi-dud (Socha na tha). But this 19 year old sure adds a new meaning to the phrase "hungry to succeed". If her diet is anything to go by...
And oh, she does 2 hours of aerobics every day.
What do we, lesser mortals, infer after reading such interviews? That we should be grateful to be ordinary and less-than-perfect .
We don't have to deprive ourselves of sev puri, pav bhaji and gooey chocolate cake.
Or atone for the sins of eating the same by vomiting it all out later.
Here's a great idea for a Reality Show:
Lock the models at Lakme India Fashion Week in a room full of real food.
Then, watch them struggle into those slinky clothes.
Should be a riot :)
There is no doubt you have been with TOI. The titles of your post are very much inspired by them it seems :)
ReplyDeleteFor the post, well, what can we say? Its great if everyone is getting what he/she wants. Though I doubt everyone knows what he/she wants. Probably because you dont search for it inside, you try to see it outside. But damn it! the trend is going to stay, just like the bar girls, the page 3 traditions and all the shitload around us.

how about making them wear those "almost-stiched-on-you" clothes and then letting them free into said room? The one with the least rips wins!
ReplyDeleteSee these women make their living off their looks so maybe (just maybe) we can let them go. Some of my friends will not eat the entire day they have an important occasion (read yet another "phha-ty"). J.H.Christ!
I am glad I am not acting.!!!

Rashmi! You stole my idea for the interview, which involved going up to them with Pizza, and suggesting they have some.
