Take The Heat Off Me: Parineet Chopra

Every once in a while comes a time in an actor’s life when he or she finds themselves at the crossroads. When it seems like it could be make or break for them. When you have no choice but to change your trajectory or perish. A year and half ago, Parineeti Chopra deiceded she couldn’t continue the way she was anymore. Her talent, of course, was never in doubt. But her weight became a talking point.Could she afford to carry those extra kilos when her contemporaries were flaunting well-sculpted bodies? She couldn’t. So she dropped off the radar to work on herself. Today the transformation is complete.She’s shed those extra kilos. She’s toned up and raring to go. “I didn’t like the way I was,” she claims. “I had to do this for myself. I still have a few months to go for my ideal body. But I’m happy.” We’re on the Morjim beach in Goa, soaking up the sun.

It’s our summer special. What better place than Goa for it. The camera drools all over her. She exults in the attention. A wispy curl blows off her face, the breeze has been making overtures all day. Far away the sun gently kisses the ocean. And Parineeti exclaims, “I’ve never felt more confident of my body than now!” She poses for the camera with verve anew. It’s the look of a woman in love with herself. Back in Mumbai, we’re sitting in a tony eatery. We’ve placed our order. And the attention turns to the actress. She’s sans make-up and glowing like a 1000-watt bulb. Her fitness regime clearly doing wonders. Food and fitness are favourite topics with her, so I begin by asking...

You’ve changed so much physically… how do you feel about yourself now?
