15 fat celebrities of India – fat and fabulous (P.S. fat are not dumb) - Set 1.
A few days back Jeeveshu Ahluwalia appeared on ‘Gangs of Haseepur’ where he gave a doze of his style of comedy to vivacious Mandira Bedi and said something which might make a lot of people sit back and take notice. He said in his trademark way, “Mote logon ko log bewakoof samajhte hain.” (People assume that fat are dumb). This is a fact, a reality which many over-weight people live with day-in and day-out.
Here is a list of 15 fat celebrities of India who are intelligent, talented and successful and their “health” and the extra dimensions are part of their personality which they are guiltlessly cashing on. They are the Adele’s and Oprah Winfrey’s of our country who wear their weight on their sleeve.
1. Farah Khan –She started as a choreographer. The song ‘Pehla Nasha’ from Jo Jeeta Wohi Sikandar brought her to limelight. She has also choreographed Shakira and Kylie Minogue in the past. Later, she started producing and directing movies and has given hits like Om Shanti Om. She has also acted in a few movies. These days she also hosts a lot of chat shows and reality dance based shows. She is very successful and her weight has not stopped her from working towards her dreams. She is a cousin of the fit Farhan and Zoya Akhtar. But is she any less popular?
2. Choreographer Ganesh Acharya – He was recently in the limelight for being the alleged boyfriend of actress Daisy Shah who appeared with Salman Khan in Jai Ho. But Ganesh has spent a considerable amount of time in Bollywood and has made a mark for himself. He has choreographed big banner movies like Rang De Basanti, Phir Hera Pheri, Golmaal, Omkara and Lage Raho Munnabhai, etc. He has also acted in various movies, the recent one being ABCD with Prabhu Deva. He is fat. Yet, he makes the big stars dance to his tunes.
3. Jeeveshu Ahluwalia– He was at the hilt of his corporate career ladder when he decided to quit everything and take up stand-up comedy as his career. His jokes are mainly aimed at himself. He travels around the country; doing what he does best, i.e. make people laugh. His fan following is growing with each passing day. He calls himself the ‘Salman Khan of the fat world.’ His extra weight has not stopped him from being popular and famous.
4. Bharti Singh – She is a pioneer among female stand-up comedians. She won The Great Indian Laughter Challenge (Season 4) in 2008 as Lalli (a fat schoolgirl) and Golu (a Sardar boy). Not many know that she is a gold medalist in pistol shooting and archery at the national level. Today, she is a familiar face on various TV channels. Apart from India, she has also performed in USA, Canada, Dubai, Singapore and Australia.
5. Mukesh Ambani – Business tycoon Mukesh Ambani is the Managing Director and Chairman of Reliance Industries Limited. He meets clients across the world and runs a multi-million dollar company. Do I need to say more? His excess weight has never hampered his business moves.
6. Choreographer Geeta Kapoor – Geeta Kapoor became a household name with the show Dance India Dance where she appears as one of the judges. She used to assist Farah Khan in the past. She used to work as a background dancer in her group but later moved on to direct her own moves. Her weight has not stopped her from delivering successful shows.
7. Vidhya Balan – Vidhya Balan is an accomplished actress. She can carry a movie on her shoulders and doesn’t need Khans to deliver a hit. She came to limelight with women centric movies like Kahani, Ishqiya and The Dirty Picture. Her extra weight helps her to get those meaty roles.
8. Sonakshi Sinha – She is the voluptuous siren paired opposite the most macho actors in B-town like Akshay Kumar and Salman Khan. She is the real Indian beauty who looks graceful in a saari and also carries western wear with élan. She is one of the most sought after actresses of our times. She did lose 30 Kgs before joining Bollywood where she went from being obese to being well endowed but never looked wafer thin. Her curves are her assets and she is proud to have them.
9. Kiron Kher – The quintessential Punjabi mother of our heroes, be it Shahrukh Khan or Abhishek Bachachan; she always comes out as the humorous and likeable character in the Bollywood movies. She is over-weight but then it helps her to get into her motherly roles with ease. She has also participated as a judge in various reality TV shows. She recently won Lok Sabha elections from Chandigarh.
