Dear Times of India:
Thank you for the highly entertaining list of ten sexiest dancers in Bollywood. But please stop implying that Kareena Kapoor is fat. She's obviously incredibly fit, as are all the young women I've seen parading across India's screens. Because I want to avoid being strident or full of platitudes, I will just say this: believe it or not, when you say things like that, real damage can be done to women's mental and physical well-being (heck, maybe men's too, I don't know), and with every iteration by every media outlet, it gets worse, and I am unbelievably tired of seeing my sister-friends wounded by this sort of thing. So just knock it off.
And for the record, I have no quibble with your choice for number one. Well done.
sincerely,
Beth Loves Bollywood
Aside to Kareena: I really do. I love you. I may not always agree with you, and I may feel compelled to shine a bit of cold, hard light of "please stop screeching" on your performances here and there, but the love is there. For real.
Second aside to Kareena: I truly like Khushi.

Kareeena??? Boooo!! :(
NB: And just read somewhere that she has been accorded the Smita Patil award!! Gawd!!!!! Am sure Smita shud be tossing and turning in her grave! :(
Amy - I love your picture!
As far as weight, for God's sake, her man obviously likes a girl with a little meat on her bones. Haters be silenced! lol!
Way to go about the letter! It's funny that I have just come across this post, as I have just posted a feature story that was published a few months ago.
Here's the link (I'd love to read your comments!) http://sheetalmakhan.blogspot.com/2006/08/shaking-booty-in-bollywood.html
