A lean figure is something we all desire, and when we look at some Bollywood celebs, we tend to think they had it easy. Well, not always. Some stars had to work their asses off to tone down to look fab. Let us look at a few.

Alia Bhatt

This sexy chic was not always slender like in the movie ‘Student Of The Year’. She had to go on a weight loss spree to get rid of the excess weight. She lost an enormous 16 kilos before facing cameras for the movie! Quite an inspiration!

Sonam Kapoor

Even Anil Kapoor’s daughter did not get everything on a platter. She had to work out a lot to get the slim figure she enjoys today. She had to lose 30 kilos to slim down from her initial weight of whopping 90 kilos!

Adnan Sami

Singer Adnan Sami once needed a wheelchair to move around because his weight, at an unbelievable 230 kilos, was too much. That very man burned around 150 kilos to look fit and fab!

Parineeti Chopra

Having a cousin like Priyanka Chopra in the industry was motivation enough for Parineeti to try. However, she had to lose considerable amount of weight to get into the industry. Parineeti went from chubby to chic in about ten months of a strict diet, yet she was criticised for being shapeless. For months she was adamant that wouldn’t want to lose any more weight, but after constant criticism she finally gave in and restarted her weight loss regime.

Arjun Kapoor

Arjun initially looked nothing like the star he is today and his weight loss story was indeed a life transformation. He is now rated as one of the hottest Bollywood actors in the industry!

Kareena Kapoor

The actress who made size zero a trend in India wasn’t always slim! In fact, for her item number in ‘Don’ (2006), she was criticised for her inability to maintain her figure following which she took up the challenge and transformed!

Zarine Khan

This chubby actress lost weight before entering into the Bollywood circuit. She lost so much weight that Salman Khan even asked her to put on some weight for one of her movies!

Sonakshi Sinha:

Our very own Rajjo, Sonakshi Sinha never thought she can be an actress. She was quite on a heavier side and was planning to pursue her career in Fashion Designing. However, Salman Khan told the 90kgs Sonakshi to lose weight and enter Bollywood. She lost around 30 kilos in 2 years and became a perfect heroine to star opposite Salman in the film ‘Dabangg’.

Jackky Bhagnani:

Well, his six-pack-abs were the talk of the town when he made his debut in the film ‘Kal Kissne Dekha’. But, not many know that it took 2 years for Jackky to get that body. The actor was around 130kgs before he thought of making his acting debut.

Karan Johar:

Karan Johar is surely a great filmmaker, but if you would have seen him few years ago, you wouldn’t have recognized him. He was fat and weighed 120kgs. However, he decided to lose weight and you can see what he is right now.

That perfect look is what most of us strive for. But what really is that perfect look? Bollywood has a major influence on the youth today, but it isn’t that these Bollywood celebrities are blessed with amazing looks. With the kind of money that they earn and the nature of their job, it isn’t a surprise that Bollywood celebrities themselves have gone under the knife to achieve that perfect look. Here we take a look at some of them.

Shilpa Shetty

With an awe-inspiring figure which we all long for, this Bollywood diva was always obsessed with perfection. She went ahead and fixed her nose which she thought was too flat.

Mallika Sherawat

Well, Mallika Sherawat is synonymous with hot and sexy, and there is no prize for guessing which part of her body she has surgically enhanced.

Sridevi

This evergreen dame had pictures splashed all over the web to indicate what was rumoured to be a boob-job. However, one thing is for sure is that she has got a nose job done.

Poonam Pandey

Bold as she is, she went from being a nobody to a some-booty after her asset augmentation.

Sherlyn Chopra

Another diva who caught eyeballs with her voluptuous figure and surgically enhanced body is Sherlyn Chopra. She was rumoured to have silicone implants although it isn’t certain.

Koena Mitra

Here’s an example of why you shouldn’t think of plastic surgery. After surgically enhancing her face, things went from bad to worse as she had to go through several corrective surgeries following a bad first attempt.

Katrina Kaif

Kat flaunts plumper lips thanks to her doctor’s efforts. Well, Kat we loved you anyway.

Priyanka Chopra

Piggy Chops did not like the way her upper lip grazed her nose while smiling and hence went under the knife to correct it.

Anushka Sharma

After her recent appearance on ‘Koffee With Karan’, Anushka Sharma faced severe criticism for her lip job. The actress chose to blame the lip enhancing tool she was apparently using at that time for an upcoming film.

Kareena Kapoor

The chubby cheeked Kareena Kapoor went under the knife to lift her cheekbones and sport a chiselled jaw line. The difference is clearly visible!

Karisma Kapoor

Another Kapoor Khandaan actress who went under the knife was Karisma. First she got rid of her bushy eyebrows and the next in line was her lips.
