Film industry is all about glamour, beauty and stardom. If you have a well-toned body you are accepted here with open arms. There were times when actresses used to fetch roles based on how slim and well-toned their body is. With time, we can say that things have changed a bit with emergence and demand of female oriented characters, but makers and audience somewhere still prefer slim females over healthy ones.
