Talk about being weight conscious! Of all the people, songstress Frieha Pervaiz has reportedly joined a posh gym in Lahore. Seriously? The wafer-thin Frieha P? When did she put on weight?

This writer saw her in Karachi a couple of months back for an All Pakistan Music Conference gig where she looked pretty okay, quite slim, not plump at all. So what drove her to get on the treadmill?

Perhaps someone has asked, nay requested, her to shed a pound or two. Or is it an exercise in futility?
