In a recent interview to a British magazine, 40-year-old actress Kate Winslet addressed younger girls who feel insecure about their looks. "Don't fret if you're not perfect," the actress and mother of three, said, confessing that she often gets photographed in her gowns to show that fuller figures are also to be celebrated. Of late, several Hindi film actresses have gone beyond the stereotype of the glam doll role, where they have spoken out about moving away from a glamorous image and being proud of their imperfections. Vidya Balan and Sonakshi Sinha have proudly flaunted their fuller bodies, Deepika Padukone spoke about overcoming depression, while Kangana Ranaut admitted working on her language skills and overall image because of her small town roots.
