She followed a strict regime and worked out under the supervision of her trainer for it. Though she does not starve herself, she believes in eating the right amount of food at the right time. Post the birth of her children, Kajol took a sabbatical from films, appearing only in cameos after a full-fledged role in My Name is Khan.

But Kajol recently made a statement that she wouldn’t mind doing an item number in films as she enjoys watching them and thinks they are a lot of fun. ‘I love watching item numbers and any film that is entertaining. If the film demands it and if the item number is adding to the film, helping take the story forward I don’t mind doing an item number,’ she said when asked if she will be comfortable with it.

However, Kajol who said that motherhood has added a new dimension to the actress in her is not comfortable if her children watch item numbers.

Karan Johar, who described her as a prude and non-risqué actress asked her if she would do a film like The Dirty Picture, she responded with a succinct ‘No’. ‘I do not see myself pulling off a character like that,’ she managed to add when pushed for a reason.

Though is back in shape and ready to act, she confessed that she hasn’t found any interesting scripts yet that will drive her back into acting.

‘I do not mind an out of the box script, but I seriously feel there is a dearth of good, tight scripts. I have been an avid reader since I was eight years old. I have read a lot and hence need to have a script that matches up to it,’ she said.

We have seen her spectacular acting and now would love to see her sizzle the screen in an item number.

While actresses of yesteryear, not to mention her contemporaries like Vidya Balan and Sonakshi Sinha scorched the big screen with their voluptuous curves, Bebo thinks big is not cool. She has been dieting like crazy for the past month to get her ‘Size Zero’ figure back; though this time she claims it’ll be a size zero with curves.  “I have gone back to the size-zero look I had in Tashan, but this time it is curvier. I wanted this body for my item song. Since it is a rigorous and raunchy number, I decided to go for a slim and sexy look but I still have curves in the right places. It may be a trend now with some actresses, but I definitely don’t want to look plump or fat!”

New goals, new diet

Kareena’s celebrity dietician Rujuta Diwekar has amended her diet to get her back in shape. According to Kapoor, the key to the perfect figure is augmenting a proper diet with the right amount of exercise. Diwekar keeps changing Kapoor’s diet so that she doesn’t get bored. She reveals that on a recent trip to Turkey she ate nothing but hummus with pita bread, salads, strawberries and olives.

Incidentally for those not in the know hummus is a Middle-Eastern dip which is made with chickpeas, tahini, olive oil, lemon juice and garlic. Hummus has immense health benefits. It’s high in iron, foliate, Vitamin C and Vitamin B6. The chickpeas in hummus make it an excellent source of protein and dietary fibre, whereas the tahini consisting of sesame seeds is an excellent source of methionine, complementing the proteins. It also has virtually no trans-fats and is very popular with vegetarians as a source of protein. When eaten with pita bread it serves as a whole meal; a very good protein-fibre combination.

For dinner she roped in an Indian cook to make her old-fashioned daal, rice and sabzi. Kareena said the key to a right diet is to have the carbs and proteins in equal proportion.

Exercising right

It’s not only about the diet and the actress did regular yoga up to 40 minutes of asanas and 50 surya namaskars.  She exercised twice a day.

No fad diets for her

The lady also hit out at fad diets saying the no-carbs diet was silly. She has no qualms about eating potato and rice from time to time

It will be interesting to see what the ‘Size Zero with curves’ looks like.
