Model Pia Trivedi said she lived on leaves and liquid for a year to lose weight for the Kingfisher swimsuit calendar. She told a podcast she was not yet suited to a swimsuit shoot and had never filmed outdoors with that team. The Indian Express carried nutritionist Gulnaaz Shaikh's comments on restricted diets. The calendar ran from 2003 to 2021.
