Parineeti credits weight loss to B-wood pressure

Many have criticised Parineeti Chopra’s drastic weight loss, saying she succumbed to Bollywood’s preference for skinny girls, but she says she’s only thankful for the “pressure” exerted on her to attain a fitter body.

The actress has suddenly become a darling of luxury clothing brands and also earned numerous style awards courtesy her new toned figure.
Sharing an old picture of her when she used to on the heavier side, the ‘Kill Dil’ star wrote on Instagram, “All my life, I have struggled with how I look, how I feel, and how people looked at me. I was constantly made fun of, but the person I was, I generously laughed with them.

“Today, many people ask me what triggered the weight loss, did I give in to the “bollywood pressure”? To that I say – thank God I became an actor and had that pressure! I am able to achieve what I couldn’t achieve otherwise. I feel more confident, I feel at peace, and I feel proud!”
