Kareena (Bebo) Kapoor is 5 ft 7 inches tall and pencil slim under-52 kilos. "1'm obsessed with losing weight, yaar," she drawls. Variations of ya, yeah, yaar dot a lot of her sentences. And her conversation is generously sprinkled with 'I think'; most times, her line is incomplete without the two words.For someone so slim and so "obsessed with losing weight", she's also an incorrigible foodie. The kapoor blood just has to show up. In fact she almost sneers with disbelief when you tell her that you're not one.When she took off for Hong Kong with Saif to herald the New Year, she was already planning what to eat and where!For all that, she's also obsessively vegetarian. no fish, no meat at all."I'm a complete vegetarian and will always remain one," she paractically swears. "Shahid Kapoor gave me a book to read. Ever since, I've been converted. I'm against eating anything non-veg. I'm trying to convince my sister and my mother all the time, I keep saying, avoid it, avoid it. It's working a little with my mother. Being a vegetarian also helps me keep fit and healthy, yaar. I love it."
She ruminates, "My mother tells me that I was always inclined more towards vegetarian than non-vegfood. That wehn we'd go out as a family for a meal to the Oberoi's or something, even as a child I'd always ask for a vegetarian biryani."Her life, currently, is anything but Spartan-vegetarian. While stardom-trackers stalked fresh blood in 2007, Kareena Kapoor sprang back with the infectious enthusiasm of a tiger cub, and clambered quickly to the vacant spot at the top. From there you can only preen, especially with a new man (blue-blooded too) declaring on his forearm (tattooed forever) that you are his special woman.And, she's looking like a million bucks. "I do a lot of yoga, " to look like this, she explains. "I don't go to a gym. This loss of weight is only due to yoga. Not the regular kind of yoga that we normally practice. THe yoga I do is very strenuous, the power yoga of Bharat Thakur. It has helped me but I can definitely say that it's not meant for everyone. Like I can do a hundred surya namaskars at one go every day. It has to be done over a period of about a year because it takes six to eight months to build up your stamina to be able to actually do a hundred surya namaskars without stopping. I do it every day, it's like showering. Even if I go to bed at 5 am, I'll sleep for an hour, wake up and do it. It refreshes me, I don't feel tired at all. If I'm not shooting, I do it at any hour, whenever I have the time for it. It's not a fixed thing like I have to do it at 6 in the morning. It's not an outdated form of yoga, it's modern and keeps all the yougsters going. The adrenaline rush is really too much."If I'm shooting outdoors, even if it's for just three days, I have my trainer come with me. Bharat has these well-trained assistants, one of them comes with me. Once in a while I might go on the treadmill for a run but otherwise it's just power yoga for me."Last year, this time, she'd reached a plateau. Everything about her had become dull and predictable. Suddenly end-last
