Losing weight was a tough regime for Parineeti Chopra, given the true Punjabi's love for food. However, with a strict workout regime and diet plan, the actress has managed to shed a few extra pounds. Parineeti has always openly talked to the media about her weight issues. In an interview, she said, “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.”
Not the kind to be comfortable in her own skin, like Huma Qureshi and Vidya Balan, Parineeti said, “Those actresses are comfortable in what they look like. I used to feel uncomfortable. I am in a visual medium and should be able to compete with every good-looking actress. I was sick and tired of clothes not fitting and having limited options on what to wear.” Despite her hatred for exercise, she took up gymming, and soon shut her critics up with a toned avatar. “I used to be 86 kilos; I used to wear size 38. Right now, fitting into a jeans of size 30 is a big achievement.”
Parineeti has a tendency to gain weight easily due to her poor metabolism. Like most of us, she too loves binging on pizzas and pastas. But, this could have been a major hurdle in her weight loss journey. Here is what this 'Daawat-e-Ishq' starlet has to say: “I gave up pizza! It’s my first love. I can let go of anything but not pizza. But I didn’t have a choice.” So, to follow her dreams and make a mark in the industry, Parineeti had to give up on those pizzas, burgers and other fast food.
