Parineeti Chopra undertook a transformative fitness journey that spanned a year and a half, during which she committed herself to rigorous training and a disciplined lifestyle. Her dedication to achieving a toned and fit physique was not just about physical transformation but also about embracing a healthier and more balanced way of living. Throughout this period, Parineeti faced numerous challenges, including maintaining a strict diet and sticking to a consistent workout regimen.
At a song launch event in Mumbai, Chopra shared with the media her journey from struggling with weight to becoming fit.She highlighted that women who are pregnant, dealing with postpartum weight, or teenagers who are obese from around the world want to know her story. “I am a fat-to-fit story,” she said, emphasizing her struggle with weight, describing herself as big and unhealthy, not just chubby. She took it upon herself to work towards fitness, feeling the pressure from Bollywood to fit the right part.
Chopra expressed satisfaction with her current fitness level, stating that people need to be fit regardless of their size. She mentioned seeing dancers in New York who are big but flexible, and it took her a year and a half to reach her fitness goals. She missed being on screen during this period. Reflecting on her early career, she noted that she did four films back-to-back as everyone was used to seeing her on screen. Unlike her colleagues, she comes from a different discipline and lifestyle and needed an emotional break to settle down.
She further explained that coming from a background in banking and academics, transitioning to being in front of the camera all the time brought pressure. She needed to sort out some things, and the break gave her the dedication and concentration needed for her work. At 27, she wanted to work on her body, wear shorts, and better clothes without worrying about anything. She concluded by saying that the one-year break was amazing for her.
