Starting with the rule of No boring questions', Priyanka Chopra's cousin spoke to us at the Dharma Productions office and gave us insight into how mental' her character in Hasee Toh Phasee really is...
Parineeti Chopra is perennially obsessed with her weight and the four-film-old actor asks every journalist whether she looks slimmer as she chats with them about her new film, Hasee Toh Phasee. She issued a mandate before she started interviews: she would not answer any boring questions; all that she was asked had to be quick and witty. And the rapid fire' went something like this ...
Alia Bhatt said on Koffee with Karan recently that you were a good actor, but lacked a sense of style...
Actually, I called her up the very same day and told her that she need not be insecure of me. She herself is a great actor and there is nothing like I am a better actor than her. Style ke maamle meinyes, she was right. I don't have a great sense of style because I was always overweight...
Do you still consider yourself overweight?
What do you think! Haven't I lost some weight? And I want an answer...
Depends who your benchmark is"Alia or Sonakshi Sinha?
(Sadistic grin) Sorry to inform you, but you can't compare me to Sonakshi Sinha. Come on! On a serious note - yes, at some point I considered myself overweight. The clothes that designers sent me never fit me properly. So obviously when you don't have the body to pull off good clothes, then definitely your sense of style would get affected. For a couple of months I have been working hard to look better and lose weight and I think I definitely have lost some weight, but there is still a long way to go. Yes, if Alia is a benchmark, then I definitely have still not reached to her mark, but still you can't compare me to Sonakshi Sinha!
