WEB DESK: A Punjabi, bubbly girl has won millions of hearts and grab the attention of her fans through her talent. She paid less attention to her weight because of her acting skills; soon she realized that Bollywood is all about combination of good looks, figure and acting skills.

Parineeti Chopra then grabbed the eyeballs due to her splendid weight loss. She forced her audience to forget her chubby look with her latest song ‘Jaaneman Aah’ from the movie ‘Dishoom’.

Pari accepts that before joining Bollywood industry she used to be fat with 86kg. She said, “I wanted to work on my body. I was 27-year-old and couldn’t wear a pair of shorts. I wanted to wear better clothes and not be worried about anything. So this one-year break was really amazing. I can wear shorts and sleeveless now,” Indian media reported.

She further added, “I am fit now. People need to be fit no matter what size they are. I was big and unfit. There are dancers in New York who are big but flexible. It took me a year-and-half to reach here. As you all know I've been working on my body for a really long time and I wanted to show it on the right platform.

"So when I got to know about the song, it was the perfect platform. I wanted to work with Varun Dhawan. I’m so glad everything just came together and it was a great song and we had so much fun.”

It is the first time Varun Dhawan and Parineeti has been paired onscreen together. And going by the chemistry they have pulled off in the song, it is already a mad hit of the season. The song which was released yesterday has crossed over a million views in one day. Apart from Varun Dhawan, ‘Dishoom’ also stars John Abraham and Jacqueline Fernandez in the lead roles.
