The popular belief is that buxom and fleshy actresses do well in Tamil Nadu. It is only partially true. Now the tastes are changing. Like everywhere else, slim is in, sloth is out here too.

And that is why even weighty actresses are going on a slimming spree. And that includes even actresses like Nayantra and Namitha, who thrive on their voluptuous figures.

Recently, Namitha went on a crash diet (eating in places like Subway that specialize in calorie-less foods) and has cut down on her girth.

Now Nayantra also has gone in a reducing binge. Last heard, the Kerala girl has cut down 9 to 10 kilos on her person.

Sandhya too has slimmed dramatically and she now looks very refreshed.

Every other starlet is fighting to stay thin and attractive.

As we said, times, they are, changing.
