If you're a certain age, there is no way you wouldn't have had a poster of Karisma Kapoor on your bedroom wall.

At the launch, a fairly short affair, Karisma Kapoor spoke about not killing yourself to get back into shape but rather eat in moderation.

"Don't overdo it," she said. "I love to eat too but I do it in moderation."

Responding to a question, Kapoor admitted that there can be undue pressure on a young mother to get back into shape.

"You've just created a miracle (and you are expected to look good)," she said adding "Any woman will take about eight to nine months to lose her pregnancy weight."
