Her fitness advisor Rujuta had this to say. Addressing her size zero figure, she said, “Kareena is NOT a size zero! But many Indian women are.

3. Junk Food
“I always had odd junk food cravings and that’s just disappeared. To me, food is no more junk. I always eat and at the right time so I’m full. I don’t feel the need to eat something at 6 or 7PM, those three pieces of biscuits. If anyone spots me at a food store, you won’t find me in the diet and low-fat section. You’ll find me in the diet section, maybe amongst the yogurt.” Says Kareena. She also says that she never eats anything that’s not from India.
