Kareena Kapoor’s sleek size-zero look in her latest film, Tashan failed to work wonders at the box-office, so she has added a few pounds for her next one, Main Aur Mrs Khanna.

A source close to Kapoor has confirmed that she has put on weight for her role in the film, which also stars brothers Salman and Sohail Khan.

"Tashan had action scenes and required Kareena to be thin and to look fit. So she cut down on her weight. But her character in Main Aur Mrs Khanna is entirely different. "Kareena plays a housewife and has kept her style keeping the character in mind," the source said.

Incidentally, Kapoor’s favourite designer Manish Malhotra, who tailored her look for Karan Johar’s Kabhi Khushi Kabhi Gham, said: "Bebo (Kareena) has never looked better."

Although the actress’ prescribed diet includes paranthas, momos, cheese, pasta and bananas, which are mostly considered fattening, it is her daily practice of yoga that keeps her fit.

"She is feeling more energetic, healthier and sexy now. Kareena wants her fans to know that it is only due to her dedication and discipline about her eating and fitness habits that she could achieve her figure."

With five films, nine endorsements and three stage shows, Kapoor says she is overworked and exhausted. After finishing the movie she will spend some time with her beau, Saif Ali Khan, in London and then move to Los Angeles for 40 days of filming on her next project, Kambakht Ishq.
