Khan was put on a chocolate diet for her period film to appear more full-bodied like women of the past

Newbie Zarine Khan was instructed to pile it on for Salman Khan's Veer. The debutant who weighed 54 kilos before the shoot, was told to put on weight so she looked fuller to play the lead opposite Salman.

Salman put Zarine on a chocolate diet making sure she ate cakes and pastries to appear more curvaceous. She piled on eight kgs after three months and now weighs in at 62 kgs.

Reveals an insider, "Veer required a leading actress who resembled a woman in the 18th century. The women of the time were full-bodied and voluptuous. Zarine was too thin for the character and hence we asked her to gain weight.
