Minissha sweated out to fit into bikini

After Kareena Kapoor's bikini scene in her size–zero figure in Yash Raj's flop show, Tashan, another actress who is hogging the headlines with her bikini act is the petite Minissha Lamba in Sanjay Gadhvi's upcoming Eid release, Kidnap.

Well, that is old news now and we are not here to rehash that. What we are here for is letting our readers know exactly how much effort and hard work Minissha had to put in to attain the look that is creating waves and has changed her from a serious actress to a bold hot sexy 'avatar'!

The preparations started way back in late March 2007 in Mauritius and when Minissha actually shot for the particular scene in September'07 she had dropped almost five kilos! Minissha worked without a break for six months at a stretch. Her routine alternated between intense weight training and cardiovascular exercises and yoga for an hour, seven days a week. She maintained a 47–kilo frame by going on a zero–carbohydrate diet. She started her day with a glass of milk, followed by cold salads for lunch and boiled vegetables for dinner. If she was still hungry she was allowed just a fruit to satisfy her hunger. All this effort got her stressed out and she had terrible mood swings during her hectic schedule.

Well, with all the hype and uniform praises for her stunning yet graceful bikini look from all quarters, it appears that her hard work has indeed paid off. It will be all more satisfying for Minissha if it translates into a massive initial for Kidnap when it hits the theatres. Watch out for the bikini shot!
