Parineeti Chopra Opens Up On Battling With Fat-Shaming; Calls It ‘The Most Ridiculous Thing On Earth’

Bollywood actress Parineeti Chopra has managed to impress her fans and viewers with her performance in the upcoming film Saina trailer. After delivering a stellar performance in the recently released Netflix film The Girl On The Train, Parineeti is busy with the promotions of her next project. During an interview, the actress spoke on the much-spoken topic of body-shaming and weight gain. The actress opened up about her experience with fat-shaming and shared what she feels about it. She shared her thoughts on the same, explaining her stance.

Speaking with Bollywood Bubble, Parineeti Chopra shared what her reaction to trolls commenting on her weight gain on social media was. The actress said, “I agreed with them that I wasn’t looking my best. And, I wasn’t doing my best for my fitness.” Parineeti continued, “I think, I would’ve gotten hurt if I was doing everything that I could and I was really my fittest, and then people didn’t like the way I looked. I think that would’ve affected me.” Because I got to work and I took a little bit of a break and got to work on my fitness and my health, I was so engrossed in myself in such a positive way and I knew that after six months or after a year if I show myself, fitter.”

Answering the question on body-shaming, the Girl On The Train actress said, “It is the most ridiculous thing on Earth. It’s like shaming somebody for having black eyes.” Parineeti continued, “It is something natural and what you are born with. But, every human being should strive to be their fittest. They shouldn’t strive to be the skinniest. You can be fit at your body-type.” The actress added, “The problem is that you compare yourself to people who are onscreen, was skinny, or not skinny. You just have to be at your fittest.” Chopra also said that the trolls who comment on others are frustrated with themselves and hence they write such stuff.
