Parineeti Chopra made headlines for her drastic weight loss, some praising her for her commitment to a healthy lifestyle while others criticised her for sending out a problematic message about body image.

But the actress says she pays no heed to people talking. . “You can’t always pay attention to what people are talking about you. If you do, you will get into a vicious circle. You have to feel good, you have to feel fit. Fitness is extremely subjective and that’s the fun of it,” Chopra said.

“You have to do things that work for you, that makes you feel good about yourself. I feel no pressure to look a certain way. I only want to stay fit and live a healthy, happy, complete life,” added the actress.

The actress also spoke briefly about what fitness meant to her: “Fitness is all about challenging yourself — every single day, every single training session. If it doesn’t give you the rush, the thrill, you will get bored. I look for something new, something to push my physical boundaries every single day.”opra's
