Bollywood actress Parineeti Chopra had stunned people when she had transformed her entire physique in just a few months. The actress had gone on a drastic weight-loss diet. But during this time, Parineeti had stayed away from Bollywood and the limelight. Talking about her break, she said, “No, it wasn’t easy, I was away from all the stardom that I had got so used to in all these years of being a part of this industry; so definitely, it was a big blow.”
Talking about her nine-month sabbatical, she said, “I knew that because I’m an actor, I’m in the public eye. Hence, my weight-loss journey got the world’s attention, and all that was positive. And I’m still work in progress. I want to look better every single time I step out in front of the camera.” She further added, “It was the most difficult journey of my life, because I love eating (laughs). I wanted to continue eating, knowing that it was bad for me, and I didn’t want to work out either. That’s the worst combination. Mentally, it was the biggest game for me, and I had to flip that in my mind. That was most important.”
Parineeti is also proud that she's inspired people. “Girls have come to me, hugged me, and cried at airports, on planes,” she said. “They come and say, ‘You changed our life.’ Those are the moments I’ve lived for while undergoing this transformation,” shared Parineeti, adding that she never thought she’d make “this kind of an impact”. Parineeti also added that she is someone who has "struggled with weight" all her life. “Because of my body, I became that person who couldn’t wear what she wanted to. I’d always be conscious that I look bad in pictures. And somehow, one day I decided that this is the time to change. It was enough,” she concluded. Stay tuned for more updates.
