'Veer' Fatrina's Heavy Saga

The title was apt… and tabloids went to town with it. Fatrina …. giggled the Press, scoffing at her hefty frame in 'Veer.' But fact remains, that the lissome Zarine Khan of today, was a generously plump 100 kgs when she was quite young.

"I'm the only earning member of my family, "admits Zarine in a newspaper chat. "My father left us when I was 18 and I took to eating and binging to keep away the pain. But I hit the gym and knocked off those kgs when I decided to get into modelling."

Veering into 'Veer', she discloses, "Salman always says that I am destiny's child and that is why I was chosen for this film. I was thin when walked into this film, but then I was told to go on a chocolate diet and gain weight, because princesses in those days were never skinny." Guess, it's just fat of the matter….
