Slim Sonam Takes Shape !

She was chubby, tubby, and weighed a staggering 90 kgs as a 16 year old. "The funny part," giggles Sonam Kapoor in a newspaper inter phew, "is that I was painfully skinny till age and my nickname at home was 'Giraffe'. At 16, I had an ovary disorder and gained 30 kgs! Besides, I also overate and became really fat."

Despite the daunting cellulite Sanjay Leela Bhansali spotted the star material in her. "He cast me when I was at my heaviest best," she admits.

It took a year and a half to knock off those ungainly kilos, but once done, Sonam Kapoor struck up a permanent date with her slimming regime.

SK works out at least five times a week, loves dance pilates and freestyle dancing, and also mixes up it up with yoga, cardio, biking and hiking. Besides, she's sworn off alcohol ("it's high on calories") and believes in the fitness mantra, 'Early to bed, early to rise'.

Late nights of booze and frolic are a thing of the past, for her. Claims SK, "I think we've all crossed that age of partying hard and doing shots. I like to be in control. And trust me, I'm a happy person. I don't need the high."

High on histrionics will do nicely, thank you.
