Why is so much emphasis given to the bikini?


"I'm eating well, and I'm eating right," justifies actor Minissha Lamba, who has upped her oomph quotient these days. Having got bikini-fit for her role in Kidnap , the actress is on top of the world. She tells us, "There was a time that I wished I could fit into anything, today I do. It ups your image, confidence... and you just feel good about yourself!" With many contemporaries having dared to bare – Aishwarya and Bipasha in Dhoom 2, Kareena in Tashan, Deepika during her modeling days showed off her bikini figure, Priyanka is known to have gone 'skimpy' in Dostana – who has the sexiest bikini-figure? "They're all gorgeous," says Minissha with much diplomacy. "But why is so much emphasis given to the bikini? I'd wear a bikini if i were to travel to some beachy hotspot. When I go to Goa I carry my bikini with me. I'm quite a water baby in places that allow me to be one. In India it gets tough to wear a bikini and not be looked at, so while I avoid it here, it's perfectly normal for me to feel free and don one when I'm abroad!" On reactions to her bikini scenes, the actor tells us they've been positive. "It's great that people have realised that I'm versatile. If I'm the girl next door girl, I can also play someone who is pretty hot. And that's a good feeling!"
