Zero figure is boring: Vidya Balan

New Delhi: Vidya Balan says she is comfortable with her curvaceous figure and finds the craze for size zero very boring. The 33-year-old actress put on 12kgs to portray Silk Smitha in her latest film 'The Dirty Picture', which has

enjoyed a good opening at the box office.

And Vidya hopes that with the new film, her boldest so far, the buxom beauties will make a comeback in Bollywood.

"Size zero is boring. Women should look like women. I can identify with Silk to the extend that like her I also enjoy and celebrate my body," said Vidya during a session with actor-director Farhan Akhtar on Hindi cinema at the HT Leadership Summit.

"I hope that buxom is back in cinema," said the actress, who has often faced criticism for her weight and dressing style.

Vidya says she is not worried about losing the weight that she put on to play Silk and never felt insecure playing the role of a curvaceous sex siren.

"Silk was a South Indian star and women are curvy there but I had to get even better so I had to put on weight. I was never insecure about how I will look on the big screen. I am fine with that."

The actress feels that women's sexuality is no longer a taboo in Indian cinema. "I think it is a coming-of-age for sexuality, particularly women's sexuality in Indian cinema. We are no longer apologetic about it. This film is a reflection of that."

Vidya will next be seen in Sujoy Ghosh's 'Kahaani'.

"I am a six month pregnant woman in Kahaani. It is based in Kolkata. Again, the character I play is very raw, real and edgy."
