Every Actress do Bold Scenes- Paoli
MUMBAI: Paoli Dam who’s debuting in Vikram Bhatt’s Hate Story says she had to undergo a rigorous fitness schedule to look lean for the film. She dismisses bold scenes in the movie as something that “every actress is doing. Tell me which actress is not shedding her inhibitions today? What I have done in Hate Story or Chatrak is nothing new. When a character demands a certain look, you’ve got to do that for the film.”
She was put on a ‘high protein no carb diet’ for two months. She says, “I really love food and enjoyed having mithais everyday, which I had to forego. I had food which was devoid of oil, spices, and sugar for two months.
I only ate boiled fish and salad during that time. I also worked out four times in a day for an hour. I practically lived at the gym the whole day when I trained under Prashant Sawant who had put me on a very strict schedule.” Paoli says that the leaner look is the global look and in Bollywood that’s working too. “Back home in Kolkata, voluptuous women are fine on screen but Bollywood filmmakers do not want their heroines to show off an extra inch on their body. If you’ve got to look attractive for your onscreen character, then you need a figure like that.”
She feels Bollywood films have bold scenes in almost every period . “The unneccesary hoopla being created about a poster from my film is primarily because social media and other means of communication are hightlighting such things even more, otherwise Bollywood had bold heroines doing bold scenes before.”
