Parineeti Chopra On Looking Her "Worst" In Amar Singh Chamkila, Pregnancy And Plastic Surgery Rumours

To portray the character of Amarjot Kaur authentically, Parineeti underwent a physical transformation by gaining 16 kilograms

Parineeti Chopra is in a happy place thanks to the success of her latest Netflix film Amar Singh Chamika. The biopic features Diljit Dosanjh as the iconic Punjabi singer Amar Singh Chamika and Parineeti as his wife and singing partner Amarjot Kaur. The story revolves around their lives, which tragically ended during the peak of their careers. To portray the character of Amarjot Kaur authentically, Parineeti underwent a physical transformation by gaining 16 kilograms and bravely went makeup-free for the role. In a recent interview with Bollywood Hungama, she candidly shared her experience of looking her "worst" for the project. Parineeti expressed, “Imtiaz (director Imtiaz Ali) sir said you have to sing live on set. You have to put 20 kilos for this film. 16 kilos for this film I ended up putting. You have to not have a patch of makeup on your face. You have to sort of look your worst in a way. But it's a performance character. I forgot everything else."

Parineeti Chopra also talked about losing out on other opportunities due to her physical transformation. She shared, “For the past year years, I have hardly been seen on red carpets. I have not done many brand shoots. I have not been seen around because I was looking like this. I am still looking like this and I have still not lost the weight and I am still not looking like myself. But I did not care. That is the kind of actor I am."

Mentioning her inspiration behind gaining weight, Parineeti Chopra expressed, "People like Vidya Balan, they inspire me when they do it for The Dirty Picture. Even in Hollywood, actors transform themselves and lose everything. That is the kind of actor I am. I hope people see that."
