‘Katrina Kaif would have been criticised if she had belly fat during Chikni Chameli song': Yasmin Karachiwala on the pressure actors face to stay fit
Renowned fitness expert Yasmin Karachiwala, who has trained several Bollywood celebrities, recently spoke about her working with stars like Katrina Kaif and Alia Bhatt. In the interview, Yasmin acknowledged that most actors face immense pressure to stay fit, as they are constantly under public scrutiny. While talking about her experience of working with celebrities, Yasmin told Zoom that working with people from the film industry is tough because they have a lot riding on them. She said, 'It's like working with anybody else; it's just that they have more pressure on them. They have timelines that need to be met; they have goals that they need to achieve. They have to look a certain way in their movies and songs.' Also Read | Akshay Kumar reacts to Paresh Rawal's exit from Hera Pheri 3, says 'it is a serious matter': 'Court will handle it.' Yasmin Karachiwala further admitted that the stars need to ensure they are fit because the audience isn't kind to them. 'Let's face it, we are not kind to them. If Katrina had belly fat and she did 'Chikni Chameli', the media and the other trainers would be the first to point out and ask, 'Who's training her?' We are so judgemental, and they need to be on their 'A game' all the time. Even now if they are not doing a movie, they are either relaxing, or if they have just done a movie or just had a kid, they will be caught by the media, and everyone will comment on their fitness.' She added that 'the great thing about them (actors) is that fitness isn't the final goal for them; it's an ongoing process.'
