Bollywood beauty Deepika Padukone took the nation by a storm with her sizzling sexy act in her recently released film 'Cocktail', looking her sexy best. Not only did she look sexy, but also donned a skimpy two piece bikini that had set the temperatures soaring. Her hot bikini avatar had sent ripples in the country as her fit body made other actresses go green in envy.

However, aware of the fact that she might influence others to look slim, she being a responsible public star recently exclaimed that one should concentrate on health than figure.

"I think ideally one should not reach a stage where you have to go on crash diets. You need to be conscious on a daily basis. I feel that this should be your lifestyle. For me, working out and eating healthy is a part of my lifestyle. I don't do it for a particular shoot. I know people who eat in a crazy way and suddenly they want a perfect body, and they go on crash diets. That takes a toll on your hormones," warned Deepika, who vouches for a healthy lifestyle.

She further added that size doesn't matter as health counts first, "I feel that size doesn't matter, fitness and health should come first. I know people who are heavy, but have great stamina, and I know skinny people with no stamina. It depends on your fitness level. There is nothing wrong with being a size zero as long as it is a healthy size zero," added Deepika.
