If you thought the uber-attractive and the ultra-fit Kareena Kapoor was only a corker of a woman, think again. Apart from emoting her eyes out and showing off the latkas and jhatkas, she can also wield words. Kareena Kapoor has taken an unusual step by writing a personal note for a book, Women and the Weight Loss Tamasha, by her friend Rajuta Diwekar. And the note appears in Kareena’s handwriting. It kinda makes sense because unlike the other Kapoors, from her great grandfather, Prithviraj Kapoor and her grandfather Raj Kapoor, not to speak of her father Dabbu (Randhir Kapoor) and others in the family she is not heavy on her feet. Obesity is the keynote of the Kapoor family, which is why she is referred to as “skinny” in the paternal side of her family. The word ‘slim’ doesn’t seem to be present in the Kapoors’ dictionary.
