Swara Bhaskar has no prob­lem with gain­ing weight for her next role.

The Raan­jhanaa ac­tress, who is cur­rent­ly shoot­ing for Nil..., di­rect­ed by Ash­winy Iy­er, has been asked to gain weight be­cause she looks too young for the role of a moth­er of a teenag­er.

"I am a hap­py food­ie and I am glad for this guilt-free bing­ing op­por­tu­ni­ty. The chef at the ho­tel in Agra where I am stay­ing, runs an ex­cel­lent kitchen and I am thor­ough­ly en­joy­ing all the amaz­ing cui­sine on the menu," the ac­tress said in a re­cent state­ment.

Asked what she will do af­ter the movie, she replied: "I don't know, crash di­et I guess! I have to start shoot­ing for Sooraj Bar­jatya's Prem Ratan Dhan Paayo af­ter this. I need to be back in a slim avatar. I guess I'll have to starve my­self the day I stop shoot­ing this film (Nil...)," she quipped. #Bol­lyTalks will keep you post­ed on Bhaskar's film prepa­ra­tions.

This next la­dy de­fied Bol­ly­wood stereo­types and would be ho­n­oured long past her re­cent death for an il­lus­tri­ous ca­reer. Zohra Se­h­gal passed away last Thurs­day at the age of 102. Known as a Bol­ly­wood di­va, her ca­reer spanned decades in cin­e­ma and the­atre. The Pad­ma Vib­hushan awardee died at Max hos­pi­tal at around 4.30 pm.

"She was ad­mit­ted yes­ter­day and di­ag­nosed with pneu­mo­nia. A heart pa­tient, she suf­fered a car­diac ar­rest and passed away," a se­nior doc­tor at the hos­pi­tal said.

"She was un­well for last three-four days," daugh­ter Ki­ran told PTI. The news was bro­ken in the night by his­to­ri­an Ir­fan Habib who tweet­ed, "Just con­firmed that Zohra Aa­pa is no more...".

The "vi­va­cious per­son­al­i­ty" that was Zohra Se­h­gal, who start­ed her ca­reer as a dancer with Uday Shankar in 1935, will be mourned for years to come.
