'I have been obese since childhood,' Parineeti

Parineeti Chopra has sweated out a lot to look her current hot self. And well, the hard work is payng off pretty well!

The Ishaqzaade actress is quite in shape and her special song with Varun Dhawan for Dishoom validates the undeniable fitness the actress has achieved.

While it was believed that the failure of Kill Dill motivated Parineeti to change her "curvy" image but the 27-year-old actress maintains that her "personal desire" was the only drive.

During a recent interview she said, "People keep associating this change to my films and my career. It's not like that. I have been obese and I have battled my weight since childhood. I always wanted to be fit. It's just because I am a public figure, the media will compare me to what I was two years ago. But my life didn't start two years ago."

Talking about the sense of achievement it has brought along, Parineeti added, "It has been a personal desire for me to be fit, thin or whatever you want to call it, for years now. It has nothing to do with Kill Dil. It has nothing to do with me being an actress; it has nothing to do with anything apart from my personal choice. At one point, it had become a default adjective for me, which is fine " curvy or whatever diplomatic term for overweight was."

Quite empowering girl!

On the professional front, Parineeti will be next seen in a romance drama, Meri Pyaari Bindu opposite Ayushmann Khurana.
