Parineeti Chopra Discusses Body Image and Portrayal of Characters in Recent Interview with Prajakta Koli

Parineeti Chopra, who plays Amar Singh Chamkila, recently stated in an interview with Mismatched star Prajakta Koli for Netflix India that she dislikes the term "chubby" or "bubbly."

In a video aired by Netflix India on Tuesday, the 35-year-old responds to Prajakta's inquiry by saying, "I'm not champagne."

"What does bubbly mean?" inquires the Saina actress, who is stylishly dressed in a white suit. Prajakta slams the table at this point, remembering a similar situation in which she had to explain that a bottle of Coke goes well with adjectives like fizzy. The two women chuckle together for a moment at this.

Parineeti added that these impressions might have been influenced by the way they portrayed characters called Dimple. While Prajakta is most recognized for her role as Dimple Ahuja in the Netflix love drama Mismatched, she played Dimple Chaddha in her feature debut, Ladies vs. Ricky Bahl (2011).

Parineeti will soon appear opposite Diljit Dosanjh in Imtiaz Ali's upcoming biographical film Amar Singh Chamkila. Parineeti plays Chamkila's wife and singing partner Amarjot, while Diljit plays the movie's titular rock star. The plot shows how a young Amar Singh went from being employed at a firm that made socks to being a well-known folk musician in Punjab. But his songs' purportedly lewd lyrics sparked violent demonstrations, which finally brought about his tragic passing. The soundtrack for Amar Singh Chamkila, which will debut on Netflix on April 12, was created by A.R. Rahman.
