MUMBAI : Parineeti Chopra is one of the most talented actresses in the Indian film industry. Her films like Kesari, Hasee Toh Phasee, Saina and many more have made a strong mark in the hearts and minds of her fans. The actress who was recently seen in Chamkila with Diljit Dosanjh on Netflix, has been praised for her performance.
Parineeti had to go through some massive physical changes while playing the role of Amarjyot in the film. She said many people assumed a lot of things looking at her body changes which would hurt her a lot. She said, “I lost brands, I didn’t do events because I was looking so terrible. People started saying, ‘She’s pregnant, she’s had liposuction, she’s done Botox on her face’. I used to look at all this and think, ‘You will never understand what I’m going through’.”
Parineeti further said, “It’s not healthy at all. In fact, when I signed Chamkila, I was at my peak fitness; I had been working out for two years, and I almost had abs. When I signed the film, Imtiaz told me I don’t really look like Amarjot, and I resolved to change that. In one minute, I forgot all the hard work I’d done for the previous two years. I gained 16 kgs, I used to eat heavy meals and go to sleep so that I look puffy the next morning. I wanted a double chin, I wanted my eyes to look small. I used to eat rice and rotis in numbers. It wasn’t just fun and games, eating pizza all day.”
Parineeti further revealed, “It was six months of very heavy eating. My sleep got affected, my mood got affected. My stamina was zero. No workouts. I don’t drink milkshakes and all but I was drinking beverages like that. I was wearing Indian clothes, which were very complimenting, and I would look like myself. But I didn’t want to look like myself. I wanted to look like Amarjot ji, I had to. This was the project I’d been waiting for.” Parineeti said that a ‘senior actor’ warned her not to put herself through this. “Tu apna career khatam kar degi “

Parineeti concluded, “It’s been a struggle, and everywhere, people are attacking me and saying she looks bad… I feel bad that people judge so quickly. I got married in the middle of all of this. On the biggest day of my life, I looked like this. I have done many personal sacrifices.”
