AISHWARYA SAKHUJA: Aishwarya says she faces a lot of trouble because of her height. “Most of my co-actors are of my height or shorter. As a result, my romantic scenes turn out to be hilarious. For example, if a scene requires me to rest my head on my co-star's chest or shoulder, I have to bend my knees. Or else, my co-actor is asked to stand on a stool. Wearing heels is a luxury for me,“ she says.

GAUAHAR KHAN Recently, on a comedy show on TV, Sushmita Sen recalled how Salman Khan had encouraged her to wear heels during the shoot of Maine Pyaar Kyun Kiya. He had told her, “You carry your height and I will carry mine.“ Gauahar seconds this thought. She says, “That was a real nice thing to say. Somehow, I look taller than I actually am. Wooden platforms come handy during a scene with a not-so-tall co-actor.

KAVITA KAUSHIK The actress is all for tall men. She says, “With all due respect to short men, I can never date a guy my height. He has to be tall enough to make me stand on my toes to kiss him. A great height speaks volumes about one's personality and a tall person exhibits a magnetic persona.“

KAMYA PUNJABI “My height has always been a problem both on and off screen. It has fetched me more sarcastic comments than compliments. I have always had to adjust to match the height of my co-actors. Despite my love for heels, I could never wear them on screen,“ says Kamya.

SARGUN MEHTA Height-related problems have haunted Sargun ever since she was a child. The actress adds, “Once an avid viewer of Phulwa came up to me along with her 16-year-old daughter, asking for tips to increase her height. I told them it was genetic, but they were in no mood to buy it.“
