BEFORE .. All my life, I have struggled with how I look, how I feel, and how people looked at me. I was constantly made fun of, but the person I was, I generously laughed with them. Today, many people ask me what triggered the weight loss, did I give in to the "bollywood pressure"? To that I say – thank god I became an actor and had that pressure! I am able to achieve what I couldn't achieve otherwise. I feel more confident, I feel at peace, and I feel proud! Girls and women meet me all around the world, at airports, events, on the street; they hold my hand, hug me, and tell me their struggles and how I changed their lives. They show me their wallpapers, their wallets, and its all pictures of me!! They look at those pictures and want to make that change in their own lives. They look at my Built That Way campaign and have stuck it to their walls. I have seen women tear up and tell me I changed their life. Post delivery weight, teenage obesity, they are fighting it, and I am their inspiration. As an actor, There is no bigger achievement for me. I am glad to be a part of your life in this way. So thank you everyone. Thank You for making me feel loved. Like I always say – if I could do it. So can you. And I am always there for all of you …. Lots of love….

Her workout regime had never been too strict. She did not enjoy the regular gym routine but she worked out on the treadmill every day. She did mixed work outs so that she wouldn’t get bored of the whole process and that would inspire her to keep on trying. Regular swimming and Kalaripayattu, a form of martial art from Kerala, helped her build and maintain her stamina. It made her more flexible and much stronger. According to the super star Parineeti, consistency is the key, and she tried to create a balance and experiment with new forms of workout to keep her motivated. In one of her Insta posts, she has been thankful to God, because being an actor she had the constant pressure to look better and has also expressed how people around the world has been taking inspiration from her #BuiltThatWay campaign.

Parineeti is a foodie and being a foodie she never believed in depriving herself. She used to be a couch potato and she had to give up her most loved junk, pizza, to attain her dream body. But other than that, she did not have any diet secret. She ate what she loved but in lesser quantities. She has not given up on chocolates and cakes and she sweats it out each day at the gym. She starts her day with jogging and meditation is a must for her.

She has spent quite a lot to get that killer body and has had the motivation to get what she wanted. Her journey from size 38 to 30 wasn’t an easy one, but it is definitely awe-inspiring for all of us.
