Size Zero? Me or she!

Bollywood’s top cats pay each other left-handed compliments
Size Zero? Me or she!
Okay, this is a true story. It happened not so long ago. And, Salman Khan is purely incidental to the script; his role was that of getting together four actresses for his foundation’s show, who we have been led to believe, cannot stand each other. You know the show we are talking about.
But this action took place off the ramp, it happened backstage, where there was a huge rush for passes because people were more interested in seeing what happened behind the scenes between Kareena Kapoor, Katrina Kaif, Priyanka Chopra and Bipasha Basu, than actually see them walk the ramp.

There was no cut and snipe, however, because our Bollywood beauties proved to be very clever and even better actresses in real than on reel. They disappointed the backstage hangers-on with their diplomatic behaviour. And for the sake of charity and Salman, they put on their best behaviour. A hairdresser told BT, “Short of sitting on each others’ laps, this quartet did everything correct.” So what was the conversation like? Well, Kat, Bebo, Bips and Piggy Chops blew kisses in each others’ directions and not only that... they complimented one another on their figures. Bebo told Kat, “God, look at you, you are so thin. You’re the new size zero.” To which Kat apparently replied, “No, you are the original size zero. No one can compete with you.”
Priyanka, who has always been slim, was given compliments galore by the girls for maintaining her shape through hits and flops. When it came to Bips, the girls chorused, “Omigawd Bipasha, you are as thin as a stick. Look at you... aren’t you eating?”
A dress designer, who also had a vantage view, stood patiently in the wings noticing this strange exchange. She also overheard Bebo saying, “Now I’m a bit rounded. Just the way I should be. Size zero is out of fashion.” After this comment will any of the girls come forward to stake their claim to being the new size zero. We don’t think so!
