Hello! Now I'm really addicted to blogging and just cannot seem to stop! So new post almost everyday! Yay!!! (I think I may just lose my job)
Today's a new Literary post ( Do you like the name?).
Kareena Kapoor Khan, with some help from Rochelle Pinto, has penned her first book.
She goes through her style journey as an actor, from the disastrous ones like Hulchul to some of my favorites including Poo in K3G and her size zero phenomena in Tashan. Here is a Sneak Preview ( Shhh!)
Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham:
Red bustier top, shiny red pants and You are my Soniya. This was the look that started it all. Hrithik and I were back on screen as a romantic couple, which obviously made everybody sit up and take notice.My character, Pooja Sharma, better known as Poo, was this happy-go-lucky, clueless about- life but-very clued-into-fashion uber cool girl. Karan Johar and Manish had really gone over every single detail to make my clothes truly trendy. Each character had a specially designed wardrobe to match their personality. Poo, of course, was high-street meets-designer-wear! It was also the first time an actress was wearing expensive designer clothes from Dolce & Gabbana to Versace in a Hindi movie. My red outfit in the song was quite a fluke though. I remember the leather pants were a bit difficult to dance in, so Manish decided to cut the bottoms and make slits. And that became a huge rage and a fashion trend! My stomach was exposed in that song, which I was actually quite happy about because I had worked quite a bit to get into shape for that.
The entire film was very well-styled, but this particular look got such a huge reaction that even I was surprised. It easily became one of the most stylish and recognizable characters ever to feature on the big screen. I guess it also started the trend of red being my lucky colour on screen.
Tashan:
The size-zero phenomenon. That is how Tashan will always be remembered, thanks to the media frenzy over my new size. More than the looks in the movie, I think people were looking at my body with a magnifying glass and trying to figure out how a chubby Punjabi girl had morphed into a super-toned diva.
It was the green bikini scene that stole the show, though. Nobody thought they'd ever see a Kapoor girl in a two-piece on screen; neither did I for that matter. But I trusted Yash Raj and when Adi Chopra said I needed to wear a bikini, I didn't argue. I was always a confident girl, never too worried about how I looked, but this was new for me too. I couldn't wait to see the reactions, dying to know if all my hard work had paid off.
The film released, and my phone went mad. People were calling and messaging me non-stop for days. Everyone wanted to know one thing. 'Oh my God, how did you do it?' And now you know! That phase was one of the biggest highs of my life. I have to admit I love looking at the photos from that movie, just to see how toned and well-defined my body was.
Tashan wasn't about a statement wardrobe, it was about making a statement: 'There's nothing Kareena Kapoor can't do.'
The book retails for around Rs. 461 on Flipkart (here).
PS: I loved the the Tom Ford dress she wore for the book launch. The funky belt reminds me of one of those wrestling championship belts :P. Apparently, the belt weighs 8 Kgs :O
