The Indian man has always harbored fantasies of full bodied voluptuous women like Madhubala, Hema Malini, Madhuri Dixit, Zeenat Aman, Kajol. Kareena Kapoor may be size zero and pencil slim, but the average India would always love the big breasts of Ayesha Takia or the voluptuous Amisha Patel. Baby making big hips of women like Riya Sen, Katrina Kaif, Sushmita Sen and south Indian beauties like Namitha Patel or Anushka Shetty are always admired by Indian men. India has always been enamored by full figured women who look well fed and strong, at the same time feminine and graceful. Voluptuousness is associated with sensuality and womanhood. Suraj from Delhi says, "I love Namitha Patel's figure because she looks like a woman to me". Nisha a woman from Kanpur agrees, "When I put on little weight, my boyfriend goes bonkers over me" Alok from Madras is zestful when he says, "Give me Katrina's hot figure anyday over the stupid Kareena thin figure"
Models and supermodels are supposed to be slim to the point of being anorexic. Indians however has been traditionally lovers of the voluptuous figure. That is the reason why mostly Bollywood women and women on television are on the voluptuous side, even the lot who were slim during their modeling days like Tanushree Dutta or Lara Dutta tend to put on a little weight when they are in the main-stream entertainment business. A curvaceous figure is also associated with fertility (baby making hips) though it has not been scientifically proved.
