Skinny Kapoor chosen for laptop ad

Rex Features

Kareena Kapoor has been chosen to promote laptops in a new advert because of her size zero figure.

The actress has been picked by Sony to advertise its new half-inch thin notebook because of her slight frame.

"The whole size zero thing in India has more to do with people being slim and lightweight. And I am slim and lightweight," the Hindustan Times quotes her as saying.

"And so is this laptop. I think this new laptop is very chic and sexy and people also often associate me with these qualities."
