Size Zero Not for Indian Women

// October 6th, 2008 // Desi-Indian, DesiPundit, Videos

Shilpa Shetty (of Big Brother fame) blasts the concept of size zero in this video, stating that “Indian women cannot be size zero.”

Addendum: Unless you are petite and flat-chested.

I think it is high-time. What began as a cultural phenomenon in the United States with a group of ultra-thin fashion models on the catwalk has pretty much descended to all parts of the globe remotely connected to the ‘fashion world.’ I am glad to see some celebrities take a stand and denounce this image of women — we don’t need more girls with low self-esteem and eating disorders.

P.S. Who missed me? I am retaking the LSAT in December *ducks* and this time I will decimate it! But I won’t neglect this blog or any of my online work anymore!

    Hi, Prerna. I missed you. Why are you retaking the LSAT?

    Maybe you can apply for one of these jobs, instead: http://www.state.gov/p/io/unesco/programs/102342.htm
