Parineeti Chopra recently received widespread acclaim for her role in Imtiaz Ali’s film, Amar Singh Chamkila as the titular character’s wife ‘Amarjot Kaur’. After the film was released on the streaming platform, Netflix, the actress went on to reveal all the hard yards she did to portray her character in the biopic. Parineeti had previously shared that she had to put on some kilos to mould as ‘Amarjot Kaur’.
Recently, during a conversation with India Today, the actress emphasised once again that she had to put on 16 kg for the role. Moreover, she further questioned if actresses in contemporary times are ready to go to such lengths for a role. Parineeti added that she only knew of a handful of actresses, who would have shown the same dedication as she did. In her words:
“I had to put on 16 kg for this film. How many actresses are really ready to do that today? I only know a couple, only a couple of actresses who have done that - really dedicated, committed actresses.”

Parineeti further mentioned that she and her co-star, Diljit Dosanjh, who played the titular character in Imtiaz Ali’s Amar Singh Chamkila, did some of the most unconventional things. Starting from singing live on sets to working on a single project for two years, Parineeti said she had given it all. Now, she wants to take more risks in her career as she believes audiences appreciate unique things. In her words:
“Just for two years, I didn't do any other work. Singing live on the sets - who takes that risk to sing live on a set and let that sound be used in a film? Nobody is confident enough to do it. They want to do it in a studio. So, I think there are many things that Diljit and I both did in this film under the leadership of Imtiaz sir, which are not usually done. That motivates me to take more risks because we believe in the audience, and they accept us when we do these kinds of things.”

In the same conversation, Parineeti said that she had been on a break ever since Amar Singh Chamkila was released in April 2024. She revealed that she enjoyed some alone time with her husband, Raghav Chadha. However, the actress would now like to be back on the sets. Sharing that she now wants to work in the right films, Parineeti said:
“The plan is just to do films that really feel right. I have done films for the wrong reasons. Sometimes, I have done films that I may not have believed in. It feels like there is homework for me to do when the audience are going to really get a crazy good performance out of me. It just motivates me to do such roles that require homework. Homework that maybe nobody else can do.”
Furthermore, Parineeti mentioned that she gives equal importance to each aspect of her life. Her career, food and travel aren’t the only things in her life, and except for her family, nothing consumes her life completely. The actress also shared that she tends to live a balanced life, and any significant change in that balance impacts her.
