    Bollywood diva Kareena Kapoor, who imported the size-zero fad in the country, says she is proud to be the "Indian size zero", which means being really slim.

    "I think in India, size zero means being slim. Every girl wants to be really slim and I think I am quite slim. India's size zero is associated with me and I am proud of that," said Kapoor.

    The 27-year-old actress was in the city to launch size zero laptop models by Sony Vaio and her slim figure was what connected her to the product.

    "I only lend my name to a brand that is suitable to my personality type. Vaio X is slim, stylish and sexy, something that I easily relate with," said Kareena, who has often denied being the size zero according to international standards.

    Kareena hit headlines when she lost eight kilos to acquire a bikini body for 2007 film 'Tashan'. Though the film failed to create any magic at the box office, Kareena's thin figure became the talk of the town, sparking the whole size zero trend in India.

    "Kareena is known for being size zero, so Vaio has associated their new size zero laptops, which are only a half-inch thick, with her," said Masaru Tamagawa, Managing director, Sony India.

    When asked whether she is a tech savvy person, Kareena said, "I am an internet savvy person, more because I travel a lot and I need to keep in touch with people at home."

    Who CaresBy: Manu | 04-Nov-2009 Reply | Forward I didn't expect Indian Express to print this kind of trash. Kareena becomes a size zero or or size nano, who the hell cares. It's her body and she can do whatever she wants, albeit some bad influence on the metro teens
    I am proud to be size zero--- kareena kapoorBy: Avantika Bhatia | 03-Nov-2009 Reply | Forward Madam kapoor is sending a wrong mesg to teeagers. being size zero means starve to death. she has the money/position to look after herself. many come from a poor family cought up in the hollywood life style and try to diet/starve and reduce their weight. it is dangerous and uncalled for. Mskapoor is an irresponsible and immature star. She will put her weight back sooner or later. it is in her gene ( punjabi/sindhi combination) and her middle name is fat. so don't fool the country.
    Why do we have to endure this trash?By: jai | 03-Nov-2009 Reply | Forward In 1948, Daily Tej partnered with Ram Nath Goenka to publish Indian News Chronicle, an English daily, from New Delhi. After the death of Lala Deshbandhu Gupta, Ramnath Goenka converted it as The Indian Express. Upon independence he was nominated as a member to the Constituent Assembly of India.Ramnath Goenka would always be remembered for his role during the "Emergency" in India and his crusade against Indira Gandhi. R. Ramakrishnan who used to work with him was also hailed by Jayaprakash Narayan for organising meetings against the emergency. His bitter fight against the business tycoon Dhirubhai Ambani is still remembered. His critics believe that his passion for politics was the fire that led the newspapers from Indian Express Group on a blazing trail.
