From flab to fab: Super Transformations

Almost all the A-list actors of Bollywood look fit on-screen. But that is not a magic of the camera or the effects. But it takes a lot of effort to look that fab. And specially when you have been fat previously. Here is a list of my seven favorites, who transformed for the best.

Hrithik Roshan

Shocked to see this name here? Ever since Kaho Naa Pyaar Hai, Hrithik Roshan has had an amazing body, but he had to gain a lot of weight so as to develop a pot belly for Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Guzaarish. The make-up team of the movie had suggested measures to make Roshan look fat without actually getting fat, but the professional that he is, Roshan chose to look fat naturally.

Arjun Kapoor

Everyone knows Arjun Kapoor is a foodie and hence, he is bound to gain weight. But, his dedication lost all the extra kilos.

Aishwarya Rai Bachchan

Aishwarya Rai Bachchan had one of the most controversial weight gain stories. However, the fact remains that the weight she had put on was not due to any role or food, but due to her pregnancy, which was quite obvious to happen. I don’t understand why the media needed to create such a big fuss about it. But the Bachchan bahu saw neither left, nor right and kept on making public appearances and walked the red carpet at Cannes as well! And then she lost it all! Kudos!

Sonam Kapoor

Yes, she can’t act, but she knows how workout and look hot. All you can do, is, envy her! End of story!

Parineeti Chopra

Parineeti Chopra is the new headline nowadays. She created a spur in the industry when she posted her in shape photo on social media. So, she can act pretty decent, and now she looks like a million dollars. Perfect for the screen!

Kareena Kapoor Khan

If there is a list of the best, the Begum has to be on it. Whether it is the list of best dressed, or this one. She has been there, done that, and there is not a single drop of regret. She first lost all of her kilos to look like that on the screen in Tashan, popularized the ‘zero’ figure, and then gained some extra kilos to look the Queen that she is today!

Bhumi Padnekar

Bhumi Padnekar will always be my personal favorite transformation, no matter what. This beautiful actress was slim before her debut, Dum Laga Ke Haisha. She then gained weight for the film and lost it all soon after the shoot was over. No that is dedication and professionalism. Hats off girl!

Kudos to everyone on this list, and the many more who transformed for the better!
