Bollywood actress Parineeti Chopra has carved a niche for herself in the Bollywood film industry. The actress who was once chubby had left everyone shocked when she had made a tremendous weight loss transformation in 2016. The actress had also revealed that the variety of roles being offered to her has increased since she underwent the transformation. Parineeti recently spoke to a leading entertainment media portal and revealed that the only reason she bagged a role in Rohit Shetty's 'Golmaal Again' was that she looked fitter.
When asked if filmmakers viewed her differently after she lost weight, she said, "I think yes. It is not necessarily the typical way that ‘Now, she is looking sexy so, we will look at her in a different way.’ Not at all. It is not like that. Our directors and producers are beyond all of this. They just saw that I could do something different." She further added, “When you look a certain way, your expectations from that person are of a particular type, that maybe she can only do these many roles.”
“But when you give them a shock like this (her weight loss), they see you in a different way, which is why I got 'Golmaal Again', because the girl had to do a lot of action in the film. I don’t think I would have gotten it had I not been fit,” she added. Stay tuned for more updates.
