CURVES ARE COOL ON TV

    Hollywood’s curvy beauties Kelly Brook, Cheryl Cole and Holly Willoughby topped the list of perfect women in a recent survey of male respondents. This gives the size zero fad a run for its money — curvy seems to be gaining prominence even in the West. Back home, Bolly belle Vidya Balan has emerged as the torchbearer of curvy beauties, followed by actresses like Parineeti Chopra and Sonakshi Sinha. Bombay Times takes a look at small-screen divas who take pride in flaunting their curves. 

 
ANKITA LOKHANDE (ARCHANA, PAVITRA RISHTA)
Whether it is playing the pretty mother in Pavitra Rishta or her dance performances during award shows and reality shows, Ankita has flaunted her curves with pride. Though she is not too voluptuous, her onscreen sari-clad character can surely make men swoon over her and women see her as the ideal bahu. 

 
KRATIKA SENGAR (AARTI, PUNAR VIVAAH)
Buxom beauty Kratika flaunts her curves in the six-yard wonder called sari and, that too, with a thumbs up from the faithful audience. She is certainly one bahu who has made curves popular on the small screen. With her shapely physique, the actor makes a pretty picture when clad in beautiful saris with minimal accessories. 

 
RATI PANDEY (INDIRA, HITLER DIDI)
From being the fiery college girl in Miley Jab Hum Tum to playing the gritty Indira in her current show, Hitler Didi, Rati has won millions of hearts. Her not-toothin body has made her stand out from the size-zero actresses. The colourful chudidaars she wears have only complemented her shape and makes her look attractive and curvy.  

 

RASHAMI DESAI SANDHU (TAPASYA, UTTARAN)
Rashami shot to fame as Tappu in Uttaran. But what also caught viewers’ attention was her curvy body decked in colourful saris. Her fans also got to see her groovy side when she decided to do Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa. Her sexy dance moves proved that being curvy is no hindrance when it comes to burning the dance floor. 

 
SMRITI KALRA (SUVREEN, SUVREEN GUGGAL — TOPPER OF THE YEAR)
Though she lost oodles of weight from her last smallscreen outing (12x24 Karol Bagh ), Smriti is still not the stick-thin body type, which helps her play the perfect bubbly college girl in Suvreen Guggal.... Her wardrobe only adds to her character. 

 
DRASHTI DHAMI (MADHUBALA, MADHUBALA — EK ISHQ EK JUNOON)
From playing a doctor in her first screen outing Dill Mill Gayye to a simple girl in Geet Hui Sabse Parayi and now in Madhubala — Ek Ishq Ek Junoon, Drashti has always been the bubbly girl on the tellly block. Dressed in pretty anarkalis and shimmering saris with braided hair, she makes a cute picture with her hourglass figure. 

 
KRITIKA KAMRA (NIDHI, KUCH TOH LOG KAHENGE)
Be it kurtis, anarkalis or saris, every ensemble complements
Kritika’s curvy bod on the show. The perky beauty simply carries every attire with as much ease as she essays her role. A body that every young girl would love to acquire, Kritika oozes charm with her shapely figure.
