Ballz Bollywood! Hot news and gossip of your favorite Bollywood celebrities!

So, we’ve been on a hunt for some secrets of the most talked about bodies in Bollywood. While Shilpa Shetty says her body is the product of good genes, other stars work their butts off to attain that A-list shape. From treadmills at the gym to yoga classes, Ballz has got the scoop for you!

The actor also reminds us of the importance of eating healthy. “I avoid fried foods and too much of aerated drinks. Oily, greasy stuff is a big `NO’ as far as my daily dietary intake is concerned.”

Hrithik Roshan’s killer bod just doesn’t make it self. The man works hard for it. “I train four times in a week. I do cardio three days in a week. Cardio is like jogging on the runner or skip for about 25 minutes. My weight training is very simple. I just keep it very intense, very short. I don’t train for more than 40 minutes.

I just do enough to maintain myself. I don’t want to get bulky,” says the man with the most perfect sculpted arms in Bollywood. “I believe your body is 90 per cent your diet. And diet one has to take control of,” he adds. “Eat the right food. I don’t eat butter, ghee, oil. I just eat grilled boiled roasted stuff.”

Shilpa Shetty recently released her highly publicised yoga DVD. She is said to practice yoga everyday to maintain that super slim figure. “…she believes it should be a way of life for everyone,” said Dale Bhagwagar her publicist.

Contrary to popular belief, Shilpa Shetty does not diet. “I’ve never done anything silly like the cabbage soup diet. Instead, just eat good, natural foods in sensible portions,” she says. So, what’s her secret formula for keeping the weight off? “Never snack – eating between meals just increases your calorie intake. Remember tea is always better than sugary, fizzy drinks,” says the 32-year-old actress. “And don’t eat after 8pm. I always eat at least three hours before I go to bed so my body has the chance to work off the calories,” she adds.

Shahid ex girlfriend, Kareena Kapoor credits her waiflike body to a balanced diet and a strict yoga regime as well. The once curvaceous actress who seems quite taken up by Hollywood has no qualms about looking emaciated, thanks to the demand for stick-thin leading ladies that are a rage in the west. It is also rumoured that she tried so hard to become thin that she actually fainted on the sets of ‘Tashan‘!

Despite reports of starving herself, Kareena insists her body is the result of hard work and was happy to reveal her healthy eating tips:
Kareena’s diet chart
1. Alternates breakfast with a bowl of muesli with nuts or two parathas and yoghurt
2. Lunch and dinner consists of chapatis with lots of green vegetables and dal
3. Snacks every three hours with nuts and milk for energy
4. No salads (she hates them) and no rice
5. Drinks two bottles of electral
6. Says she loves cheese and eats at least one slice because of its protein content and fatty acids

So there you have it! Got a great tip of your own? Feel free to share it with other readers in the comments section

This is most undeniably the year of Shilpa Shetty!! All the right things seem to be failing in this lass’s lap at the right moment, the success story beginning with the Celebrity Big Brother show earlier this year. She is doing stuff that all actresses crave to do someday…like launching perfumes named S2, starting a production house also called S2, making dvd videos on yoga…And as if all this glamour action wasn’t enough she is all set to storm Berlin, Holland and the UK.

At London she will be performing at the Royal Albert Hall to name a few, with her musical play called “ Miss Bollywood ”. While there’s no word of Jade Goody being in the audience, it has been confirmed that Neeta Lulla, a reknowned Indian designer will be designing her costumes and equally talented choreographer Ganesh Hegde will be guiding her every move! The song “some boys (well in this case girls) have all the luck” seems to be playing out loud in my head.

However, as much as she tries to distract us with all that bling, she will still be remembered to most as “the girl Richard Gere was all over!” But props to the woman who lets nothing break her success drive!

A few hours ago, Shilpa Shetty, was on her way to the opening of the Miss Bollywood musicial in Berlin when she was arrested at Mumbai Airport on obscenity charges for her public “kiss” with Richard Gere.

Earlier this year, the Hollywood star caused an outcry when he grabbed Shilpa, swept her backwards and planted a kiss several times on her cheek at an AIDS-awareness event. Conservative Hindus claimed that the pair violated the country’s anti-obscenity laws, prompting crowds to burn posters of the two stars in protest at the kiss.

Shortly after the drama, a court issued a warrant for Gere’s arrest and barred Shilpa from leaving the country. A court later overturned this ruling.

Shilpa said, “I can understand something like this if I’d committed a criminal offense. But what was my offense, when I’m just an actor, going to perform a musical on foreign land.” After hours of questioning, a tearful Shilpa was finally released when officials confirmed that the ban had in fact been overturned.

Hypocritical is the word that comes to mind. Bollywood movies are known for its power of the requisite wet sari dance, where it manages to start pouring down raining the minute they launch into a dance routine that leaves nothing to the imagination, but yet we don’t see anyone labelling that as obscene when really vulgarity in Bollywood is increasingly popular.

Or what about when an on-screen couple lips reach the moment of impact when the scene is quickly cut, yet dry humping and grinding against each other is accepted?

We say it’s high time these people come down from their ivory tower of righteousness and get over this ridiculous cry for attention.
