Anil
Kapoor,
known
to
be
one
of
the
slimmest
actors
Bollywood
has
ever
produced,
has
now
decided
to
make
his
daughter
slimmer
than
ever
before.
And
he
found
an
ingenious
way
of
letting
her
know
his
slimming
intentions.
He
got
her
a
fat-free-
sugarless
cake
on
her
birthday
on
Monday.
Known
for
her
sweet
tooth,
Sonam
caught
on
quickly
and
got
seriously
worried.
"I
thought
I
had
slimmed
enough.
I
lost
35
kgs
before
Saawariya.
I've
been
constantly
keeping
my
weight
down.
But
I
think
Dad
knows
the
other
girls
are
looking
very
slim
these
days.
It
was
his
way
of
letting
me
know
that
I
needed
to
get
even
thinner.
A
strange
present
on
my
birthday."
With
a
string
of
illnesses
in
the
family
suddenly
happening
all
at
once,
Sonam
Kapoor
just
didn't
feel
like
celebrating
her
birthday.
"None
of
us
was
in
the
mood
to
party.
Dad
did
get
me
a
sugar-free
cake
and
I
blew
out
the
candles
in
front
of
my
family.
But
that's
about
it.
There
were
too
many
illnesses
and
hospitalizations
in
the
family."
But
Dad
Anil
Kapoor
did
make
a
'weighty'
statement.
Sonam
has
caught
on.
"I'm
going
on
a
diet.
I
need
to
get
thinner
to
look
comparable
with
the
other
girls.
Look
at
Deepika.
She's
athletic
and
slim.
I'm
not
an
athlete.
But
I'm
a
runner.
I
love
to
go
on
long
runs
all
on
my
own
for
miles
and
miles.
That
is
a
sure
way
to
lose
weight."
But
now
with
dad's
prodding
her
into
a
fat-free
awakening
Sonam
is
about
to
lose
more
kilos.
"I
have
to.
It's
not
a
vanity.
It's
for
my
sanity.
I
can't
be
happy
being
healthy
when
the
other
girls
are
frantically
losing
weight.
So
thanks
to
my
Dad
I'm
losing
more
weight."
And
what
else
did
Sonam
do
on
her
birthday?
"Nothing.
Saw
a
film
and
went
to
sleep
early
since
I
needed
to
look
fresh
the
next
morning
to
shoot
for
Dilli
6."
