"There are women who are pregnant or are dealing with post-pregnancy weight, or teenagers who are obese, from across the world, (they) want to know my story. I am a fat-to-fit story," Parineeti told reporters here at a song launch event.
"I have struggled with my weight. I was big and unhealthy, not chubby. I took it upon myself to work towards this. There was the pressure of Bollywood to bring me on the right part."
"Now I have this dedication and concentration on my work because of the break. I wanted to work on my body; I am 27 years old. I wanted to wear shorts and better clothes and not worry about anything. This one year break was amazing."
Parineeti will be seen dancing with Varun Dhawan in the "Jaaneman" song from his upcoming film Dishoom.
