Parineeti Chopra Hits the Gym to Get Back in Shape After Gaining Weight for Imtiaz Ali’s Chamkila
Actress Parineeti Chopra has shared that she gained 15 kilos (around 33 pounds) for her upcoming role in director Imtiaz Ali’s film Chamkila. In an Instagram post on Monday, Chopra gave fans a glimpse into her fitness regimen as she works to get back in shape after putting on weight for the film.
Chopra will be playing the role of Amarjot Kaur, the wife of late Punjabi singer Amar Singh Chamkila, in the biopic which also stars Diljit Dosanjh in the titular role. The film is slated for release on Netflix in 2024.
Gaining Weight Through Music and Food
In her post, Chopra shared that she spent six months singing in AR Rahman’s studio while simultaneously eating junk food to put on weight for the role. “I spent 6 months this year singing in Rahman sir’s studio, and going back home to eat as much junk as I possibly could to put on 15 KILOS for Chamkila!” she wrote.
She went on to add that while she enjoyed the singing and food routine at the time, she now misses the studio and is working hard to get back to her usual fitness levels. “Now that the film is done, the story is completely the opposite. I miss the studio, and live in the gym trying to get back to looking like myself again. And not like Amarjot ji! Its been hard. But anything for you Imtiaz sir! And this role,” Chopra further stated.

The Film and Singing Gave her Joy
The actress expressed her willingness to push herself for the role in Ali’s film. “Many more inches to go. Let’s do this! #Chamkila #ImtiazAli #Amarjot,” she wrote, indicating that she still has more progress to make in her weight loss journey.
Chopra revealed that she enjoyed her time singing, likely as preparation for the role, sharing a short video clip of herself in the studio sporting her bridal sindoor, having recently tied the knot in September with businessman Raghav Chadha.
While fans await Chopra’s return to the screen, her Instagram post offers a peek into the dedication with which she approaches her acting roles. Her journey to regain fitness also serves as inspiration for those working toward body image goals.
