Poll: Do these celebs promote a healthy body image?
They're bold, they're beautiful and are known for their uber-hot bodies. But do you think these celebrities promote a healthy body image? Take our poll and let us know!
Bipasha Basu
She's been in the news recently for the launch of her own fitness DVD and the fabulously toned physique she's seen sporting therein. From curvy to taut, her body has been through quite a few mind-numbing changes.
So do you think Bips is a role model as far as health is concerned?
John Abraham
The Bong bombshell's hunky boyfriend is not far behind on the fitness bandwagon.
John has always rocked a chiselled look, but he took it to another level in Dostana -- who can forget the yellow trunks? Whether it was supplements or hardcore gymming, it worked!
Do you think he promotes a healthy body image?
Katrina Kaif
Now here's a lass who's decidedly proud of her curves! Kat has never starved herself or shrunk to half her size. And yet, she looks hotter on screen (and off) than many of her rivals.
Does she promote a positive body image, according to you?
Zaheer Khan
Our cricketers may be a talented, physically fit bunch, but not all of them have a bod worth boasting about! And that's what makes Zaheer Khan stand out all right -- does he create the right impression?
Saina Nehwal
Of course, most of our famous sports personalities do boast of admirable figures, like badminton champ Saina.
Do you aspire to have a bod like hers? And what's the health quotient like?
Karan Singh Grover
It's no secret that this TV actor is a gym freak and spends every free moment working out. And he also has a fondness for tattoos that draw attention to his muscular arms.
What's your verdict? Beefcake or positive role model?
Shilpa Shetty
The slim 'n' sexy newly-minted Mrs Raj Kundra has reigned as Bollywood's best bod for the longest time. Which makes you wonder sometimes whether you're chasing just a dream if you want to look like that.
Any takers for her look? And do you dispute the health factor?
Salman Khan
Okay, we're all tired of seeing Sallu take his shirt off. But that still drives the female population gaga and don't forget, he's over 40 now. Anyone else you know that age who looks this good?
And do you think he promotes a healthy body image?
Somdev Devvarman
This Indian tennis champ is only 25, but he's making all the right moves on the courts. Standing tall at 5'11", all those years of beating the ball around have gifted him an athletic bod.
Is Somdev a healthy body role model, according to you?
Jennifer Winget
This television actress is known for her typically Indian appeal. And Jennifer has curves that could give any Bollywood actress a run for her money!
Do you think she promotes a healthy body image?
Akshay Kumar
While every second actor in Bollywood has muscles to boast of, not every one of them is as fit as Akshay. He's into martial arts and known for performing his own stunts too!
Is he a 10/10 as far as fitness is concerned?
Dipika Pallikal
Not only does she have an athletic bod, squash champ Dipika also has a great sense of style, as is obvious from this pic.
Would you aspire to athletic appeal like hers?
Surya
This South Indian superstar pulled a Ghajini before Aamir Khan did and he has a physique that is well worth a second glance. Of course, the fact that you're in show business means you're in top shape, but at 34, Surya is in top form.
What do you think?
Shahid Kapoor
With Kaminey, Shahid ditched his chocolate boy image once and for all, putting his rippling chest and bulging biceps on display. Always health-conscious, he took body-sculpting to a whole new level with his appearance in the movie.
Is he your gymming idol or could you do with a body that's more achievable?
Kareena Kapoor
Joining her ex on this list is Bebo. From chubby teenager she went to curvy Bollywood babe to size zero siren. But that makes us wonder from a wellness perspective what she's put herself through for all those dramatic changes.
Would you say Kareena promotes a healthy image?
Baichung Bhutia
The spunky footballer looks hard as a rock when he's on the field and the good news is that he plays the same way. Dig those leg muscles!
Does Baichung meet with approval when it comes to a positive promotion of fitness?
Deepika Padukone
She's been a model, a professional badminton player and is one of the leading ladies when it comes to B-Town's young brigade. Dippy's super-toned tummy could elicit any number of sighs from wishful women!
Does she set the right standard for wellness?
Hrithik Roshan
Hrithik has been tweeting fitness advice recently and we're inclined to believe that he's a perfectionist, like he is in everything else, when it comes to working out right.
Does his appearance promote a healthy body image?
Sonam Kapoor
The pretty young Kapoor girl lost 25 kgs to follow in her father's footsteps and become an actress. Today, she not only sports a lithe frame, she's known as the Indian movie industry's leading fashionista.
Do you think Sonam could be a spokeperson for healthy living?
Vijender Singh
And finally, we have our beloved Olympic medal-winning boxing champ, whose boyish good looks are in sharp contrast to his lethal arms!
Would you give Vijender a thumbs-up or a thumbs-down when it comes to promoting fitness?
