Actress
Parineeti
Chopra,
who's
on
a
promotional
spree
for
her
upcoming
Netflix
film
The
Girl
On
The
Train,
spoke
about
being
overweight
when
she
was
a
college
student
and
said
that
she
wishes
to
erase
that
time
from
her
life.
Talking
to
Siddharth
Kannan,
Parineeti
said,
"I
wish
I
could
erase
the
time
I
was
hugely
overweight
and
I
am
talking
about
my
college
days.
I
was
really
unhealthy
and
really
big,
and
I
didn't
quite
see
it.
Today,
I
care
about
life
and
health
so
much
more
that
I
wish
I
could
erase
that
chapter.
I
wish
I
could
erase
those
photos
which
I
see
and
they
terrify
me."
"Other
than
that,
I
have
had
a
couple
of
instances
in
my
life,
where
I
have
been
really
low
and
dead
emotionally.
They
have
made
me
the
person
that
I
am
today,
whatever
I
am,
so
I
would
never
change
those
bad
experiences.
But
if
I
could
go
back
in
time
and
just
become
a
fitter
person
or
maybe
have
sports
in
my
childhood,
I
would
like
to
add
that
to
my
life," added
the
Ishaqzaade
actress.
Parineeti's
statement
didn't
go
down
well
with
a
few
netizens
and
they
were
quick
to
point
a
finger
at
it.
A
netizen
wrote,
"What
is
this
lady
trying
to
imply
that
for
becoming
a
actress
she
lost
weight
and
now
all
of
a
sudden
she
is
dissappointed
by
own
self?"
Another
netizen
wrote,
"This
is
the
problem.
See
the
vicious
circle.
She
was
body
shamed.
Now,
she
is
indirectly
body
shaming
her
old
self
and
many
overweight
youngsters.
Want
to
erase
means?"
Disappointed
by
Parineeti's
statement,
one
more
netizen
called
out
the
actress
and
wrote,
"This
means
all
the
people
who
are
overweight
should
forget
about
their
lives
they
are
leading
and
in
one's
life
the
only
thing
one
should
remember
is
how
a
person
looks...are
we
progressing
or
just
moving
backwards?"
We're
sure
Parineeti
didn't
see
it
coming.
On
a
related
note,
apart
from
Parineeti,
there
are
many
actresses
who
transformed
themselves
from
flab
to
fit
before
starting
their
career
in
Bollywood
like
Sonam
Kapoor,
Sonakshi
Sinha
and
Sara
Ali
Khan
to
name
a
few.
Coming
back
to
The
Girl
On
The
Train,
the
film
also
stars
Aditi
Rao
Hydari,
Kirti
Kulhari
and
Avinash
Tiwari
in
key
roles.
It
will
release
on
Netflix
on
February
26,
2021.
