OTHER INFORMATION
Physical Transformation: Parineeti Chopra faced the cruel reality of being subjected to body shaming, not only before her entry into the film industry but also during the initial days of her acting career. In response to the negativity, she opted for a substantial weight loss journey, shedding over 28 kgs of weight. Parineeti’s body transformation received negative feedback from the public after she shared a video on social media where she advised Alia Bhatt to “eat less and become thin” as a birthday wish. Twitter users called out her behaviour as “fake” and “obnoxious” and criticized her for promoting unhealthy body image standards. Additionally, in 2015, Parineeti was awarded the Star Dust Award for Style Icon of The Year; however, Rishi Kapoor believed that her weight loss was the sole reason for her win. While talking about this, in an interview, Rishi Kapoor said, I couldn’t believe it when they recently gave an award to Parineeti for losing weight. Can someone please give me an award for gaining weight?”

INTERESTING BACKGROUND INFORMATION
Parineeti Chopra, an acclaimed Indian actress, has made a remarkable mark in the Bollywood film industry with her dynamic performances in movies such as ‘Hasee Toh Phasee’ (2014), ‘Golmaal Again’ (2017), and ‘Meri Pyaari Bindu’ (2017). Her breakthrough role as Zoya in the film ‘Ishaqzaade’ (2012) garnered her widespread recognition and appreciation, paving the way for a promising career. Born into a Punjabi Hindu family in Ambala, Haryana, Parineeti’s journey began in a nurturing environment that valued education. As a child, she consistently excelled academically, frequently ranking among the top three students in her class, a testament to her diligent nature. Her hard work bore fruit when she secured the top position in the SSC exams across India, an achievement honored by the then President, Pratibha Patil.
After completing her education, Parineeti pursued her studies at Manchester Business School in England, where she showcased her leadership skills by working as a catering team leader for the Manchester United Football Club during matches. However, the economic recession of 2009 in the UK posed challenges, derailing her aspirations of becoming an investment banker. This pivotal moment led her back to India, where she began her career as a public relations consultant for Yash Raj Films. While promoting the film ‘Band Baaja Baaraat’ (2010), she discovered her passion for acting, prompting her to take a bold leap of faith by leaving her stable job to follow her dreams on the silver screen.
Parineeti’s journey into acting was significantly inspired by her idol, Rani Mukerji, whom she admired deeply. Recalling a memorable day when she served as Mukerji’s personal assistant, Parineeti described it as the best day of her life, particularly after receiving words of encouragement from her idol, who recognized her potential as an actress. This experience solidified her resolve to pursue her newfound passion. As she ventured into the glitzy world of Bollywood, Parineeti maintained a mystique about her personal life. While there were rumors linking her to Indian film director Maneesh Sharma, she dismissed them as baseless. In 2017, she reportedly began dating Charit Desai, a script supervisor and director, but chose not to confirm or deny their relationship, emphasizing that her personal life should remain private.
Beyond her acting career, Parineeti Chopra is also known for her adventurous spirit. She is an avid scuba diver, having undergone nine years of rigorous training with PADI, which culminated in her achievement of becoming a ‘master scuba diver’ in 2023. Her love for travel is evident as she frequently shares her experiences through social media, showcasing the beautiful places she visits and the adventures she embarks on. Parineeti’s interests extend to music, as she is a trained Hindustani classical singer, having received formal training while living with her family in Ambala. Despite her many talents, she admits to a humorous aversion to cooking and has a notable fear of plane landings. She often expresses her unease about flying, a sentiment that resonates with many. Additionally, demonstrating a keen interest in technology, Parineeti invested her first paycheck in an Apple laptop, showcasing her pragmatic approach to both life and career, where quality often takes precedence over brand names.
