TV Bahu Vindhya Tiwari Dons Bikini, Says People Love Her Legs!

How did you shed your shyness and go in for a bikini shoot?
I felt that I was in a good shape. I had worked hard on my body for the past 3 months. My trainer is a beast and he really helped me in the process.

On my 25th birthday I realised that I am finally comfortable with my own self and when someone is comfortable with his/her self, his/her beauty is only enhanced. No matter what you wear but if you carry it off with confidence, it won't look vulgar on you.

I think you will like the pictures when you see them because they are classy.

I have seen them, but tell me what was your parents' reaction towards your bold avatar?
I still remember that when I told my parents that I want to give a bikini photo shoot a shot, they said that a bikini looks classy on actresses such as Deepika Padukone and Priyanka Chopra because they maintain their bodies. Aisa nahin lagna chahiye ki aapne apni body maintain nahin ki hai aur aise hi pehen li bikini...



Go on...
And if you are to look at the social media accounts of today's young girls, everyone is wearing bikinis. So it’s a not big deal to wear a bikini, but it’s important to carry it off gracefully.

So you spoke to your mother and father, and hit the gym?
(Laughs) Yes. Both my parents told me that if I wanted to do it, I needed to get into shape. Also, now they trust me enough to know that I can differentiate between right and wrong. They have always been there for me and helped me with everything. In fact whenever I go to my hometown in Varanasi...

Sorry to interrupt you but Varanasi will be traumatised when they see your bikini pics...
Really? I don’t think so.

Have you worn a bikini before, say on a holiday abroad?
Yes, but sabke saamne yehi pehli baar hai. Besides, I never felt confident donning one then. So obviously, I didn't put out those pictures on social media. And let me tell you why I didn't feel confident -- simply because I wasn't in a great shape then.

You'll now have your fair share of fans and detractors...
Why will people hate me? Besides, isn't hate the first stepping stone of love?

Are you on a particular diet?
Yes, and thanks to it and my regular workouts, I have toned my body. I marvel at how well Shilpa Shetty's has maintained her body. Doesn't she have an amazing figure? Woh kuch bhi pehen le, but she looks sexy.



Coming to your question specifically, I started having a lot of egg whites with grilled chicken. I think I have a sweet tooth for rotis, which I cannot quit. At times, I cheat, but then I am honest about it with my trainer and the next day with him is comparatively tougher.

Where does your sex appeal lie?
My personality is attractive. To get specific again, people say that I have long legs which look very nice.

And then?
I feel shy and thank them, what else!

How did the bikini shoot offer come along?
They wanted a Bollywood actress for cover, and one of my friends happened to speak to them casually about me. They reverted saying that they were open to having a TV actress. They weren't one of those who think that  TV actress mein woh baat nahin hoti hai jo Bollywood actress mein hoti hai. I decided to give it a shot.

People have seen me as a bahu, princess... so why should I leave this aspect of mine? An actress comes as a package, doesn't she?

How bold can you go if you get a Bollywood offer?
It would depend on the kind of project. If my role has substance, I don't mind getting into a bikini. But I won't wear one and just stand in the frame doing nothing.

What's next?
I want to do a lead role in a TV show.

The interview will be incomplete if we don't dwell upon the content on Indian television today. You usually don't get TRPs if you try something different.
Look, let's face it. The ratings will always come from housewives, whether you like it or not, which is why most production houses are supplying exactly what the ladies want. It is easy to complain that the youth is not watching TV, but does the youth have time from their gadgets and parties?



Are you dating someone?
No, but I need a guy who really understands me. I am a very clear person, and I would like to know a guy well before I settle into matrimony with him.

You shoot with good-looking men. Never got attracted?
I don't find any man in the TV industry handsome. When I work in Bollywood, I think there'll definitely be lot of men around especially Hrithik. He is so--o--o handsome. I have a crush on him. Recently, I saw him at an event and couldn't take my eyes off him.
