Mumbai: Debutant Zarine Khan, who has been criticized for being overweight in the film ‘Veer’, has revealed that she is very conscious of her weight. Amidst size-zero wannabes, curvaceous Zarine Khan stands apart for her well-rounded figure.
"I am very conscious about my weight from Day One. In fact during my school and college days, I used to weigh as much as 100 kgs. It`s only now that I weigh a lot lesser. I want to play all kind of roles and get into the kind of attire that a Hindi film heroine is required to wear. However, before that I will have to get rid of all the excess weight that I currently have on me. It`s just a few more pounds to go and after that it should be all well", Zarine said to a news daily.
Narrating her weighty issues, Zarine recollected, "It was only after I started doing modeling that my weight went down by 40-45 kgs from an original 100 kgs. I have a tendency to loose and put on weight. This is why while working on ‘Veer’, I was so happy. For a change no one was asking me to loose weight."
She perfectly suited the role in ‘Veer’ and gorged on chocolates because girls belonging to the era gone by were nowhere close to being Size Zero. "Why just chocolates? In addition to that, I also got to eat so much of other junk stuff which I had to earlier sacrifice. Any actress would have thought 1000 times before eating the kind of things that I got on platter on the sets of ‘Veer’. Having said that, I had to be reasonably conscious about not becoming 100 kgs again. I was regular with my work outs to maintain a curvaceous body," Zarine said.
