Parineeti Chopra is one of the few actresses who openly accepted being overweight in multiple media interviews. The bubbly actress once talked about her weight issues in a media interaction and shared that losing weight was not an easy task for her. Talking about her love for food, Parineeti revealed that she managed to shed those extra pounds with a rigorous workout regime and a strict diet plan. She was quoted as saying:
"I am a 25 year-old and there is no reason for me to look fat. I want to look great. I am taking care of myself and I am losing even more weight because I want to look better."
In the same interview, Parineeti also confessed that one of the biggest problems she faced when she was overweight was dressing up. She was sick and tired of ill-fitted clothes as she had limited options. However, the actress also mentioned that initially, she paid less attention to her weight, thinking she could get away with her acting skills alone. But, soon she realised that being a part of Bollywood requires good looks, a toned figure and brilliant acting skills, and she started her weight loss journey in order to look good on screen.
