Parineeti Chopra on losing work post gaining weight for Amar Singh Chamkila
During a recent interview with Bollywood Hungama, Parineeti Chopra talked about putting on weight to play the character of Amarjot Kaur in her latest film Amar Singh Chamkila. “Imtiaz sir told me to gain 15 kgs and said there would be no makeup on my face. I had to look my worst in Chamkila and I said, ‘I will do it,'" she said.
She further opened up about how her industry friends warned her to not gain so much weight because it would be fatal for her career. However, she took inspiration from Vidya Balan who also gained weight for The Dirty Picture.
Talking about avoiding public appearances during this period, losing out on work and the effect of pregnancy and plastic surger rumors, Parineeti said, “As I was shooting for Chamkila for over two years, I lost out on a lot of work. I looked my worst and there were pregnancy and plastic surgery rumors, too.”
“I was hardly seen on any red carpet. I wasn’t even papped. Fashion had taken a back seat because I didn’t look like myself. I don’t look like myself even now. But I would still prefer 10 Chamkilas over a red carpet appearance,” she added.

"The day I had come into the movies, I had made a list of directors and sir's name was on number one. Even though I felt he would never work with me, I still put him on the list. Now, it has happened," she said.
