Flab to Fab!

She has a million dollar face and there's no one to contest that!
Now she's about to go slim n svelte too! Her contemporaries sure detest this and the guys are drooling at the very thought! What created further ripples in glossies is when Yashraj admitted that audiences will see Ash in a bikini! Smackingly sensational, huh?
“Haan, aap Dhoom mein Ash ko bikini mein dekhenge” admitted a hesitant Yash Chopra at a recent press gathering. “But this is no stunt. We have never succumbed to stunts. Sanjay's script demands a bold character and that's how her look came about” the patriarch of Yash Raj clarified. But isn't this a wee bit bold for the coy Yashraj heroine who hardly ever steps out of her salwar-churidars.
“I put Sridevi in a pair of minis in Lamhe and no one thought there was anything vulgar about it” he retorted. “It's simply what the script dictates. We follow the same principle even now” he points out. And how did Ash react to it? “Well, we sat her down and explained her, the character. She saw reason and okayed the idea in our first meeting itself. The only thing that she told us was that we give her a little time so that she could tone up for the look. I am sure she'll look wonderful in a bikini, just the way Sharmila did, when she posed for Filmfare” the director explained.
Over to the fitness guru for Ash…
Deepika Mehta.
Warm-up…
I was delighted to know that I would be in charge of Aishwarya's fitness. Adi, Ash and I sat and designed the fitness program. I was warned that Ash didn't have an athletic body type hence the training program would be doubly challenging as we had little time on hands to achieve the results that we were looking for.
Body talk with Ash
But on the first day itself, she surprised me with her lithe body language. Ash has the discipline of a dancer hence her body responds quickly to all the movements that I wanted out of her. The woman has an innate sense of movement. It's a pleasure to even watch her exercise, she is guile! Add to that Ash is focused and sharp. Put together her pupil-like approach which makes her an absolute delight. Ash is surreal!
Fab-Ab!
Her fitness program consisted of kick-boxing, yoga and weights. These got her hands and back into shape. We also worked paces with her. A diet plan came into place. With other clients there is a constant worry as to whether they stick to the plan, not with Ash. The lady is too committed to stray. I also threw in power yoga that relaxes your senses and heightens concentration. And pilates! This one's responsible for making the 40 year old Madonna look like a cheer leader! Just wait and watch what it has done to Ash!
And the latest is, Ash on her foreign schedule of The Last Legion, would steal out time between shoots to squeeze in her exercise routine. Whoa!
Looks like, this one's gonna knock you dead!
