Newbie Zarine Khan was instructed to pile it on for Veer

Khan was put on a chocolate diet for her period film to appear more full-bodied like women of the past

Newbie Zarine Khan was instructed to pile it on for Salman Khan's Veer. The debutant who weighed 54 kilos before the shoot, was told to put on weight so she looked fuller to play the lead opposite Salman.

Salman put Zarine on a chocolate diet making sure she ate cakes and pastries to appear more curvaceous. She piled on eight kgs after three months and now weighs in at 62 kgs.

Reveals an insider, "Veer required a leading actress who resembled a woman in the 18th century. The women of the time were full-bodied and voluptuous. Zarine was too thin for the character and hence we asked her to gain weight.

It was mentioned in her contract as well. Funnily enough, Zarine went on a chocolate cake diet. She had barely any time to put on weight and she loved chocolate cake. Salman would personally keep track of her diet."

Zarine wears a lot of period gowns in the film and also saris and blouses that will make her look a size larger than she is. "Most of her clothes have been designed in a way that enhance her size and make her look bigger.

200-800 Depending on size, the amount of calories a slice of chocolate cake contains

Being only on a CHocalate diet is an exaggeration.
It's old news that Zarine was asked to put on weight for Veer coz at that time women were more voluptous.
Salman said on his blog when asked where Zarine was that she must be in a gym somehwere trying to become size 0 and that Indian men like women to be size 10.😆

lol yeah they could have chosen other food than just chocolate cake but they probably thought chocolate cake was the quickest way for her to gain weight without ruining her complexion by eating oily or greasy food.

While all the Bollywood heroines spend their free time in the gym trying to get rid of every bit of fat, Zarine Khan eats chocolate cakes instead. The heroine, who will debut opposite Salman Khan in Veer, was asked to put on weight for her character in the film. The Katrina Kaif lookalike, who had body-doubled for Katrina in Yuvraaj, was felt to look too svelte and elegant to play the role of an 18th century Indian woman. Salman is said to have regularly checked on her diet to make sure she was eating her share of cakes and pastries - she is said to have gained 10 pounds for her role as the Princess Yashodhara. "Veer required a leading actress who resembled a woman in the 18th century," said a source, "The women of the time were fullbodied and voluptuous. Zarine was too thin for the character and was asked to gain weight." Salman's other big debutante in Veer, former Miss UK Lisa Lazarus, is full of praise for her mentor. "Working with Salman has been the highlight of filming," she stated, "I got taught by the best. I hope to make him proud since I know how much Veer means to him."Currently back in the UK, Lisa is not through with Bollywood yet. "After working in Bollywood, I've become a lot more aware of the industry," she said.
