In a recent interview with the well-known news website, the actress repeated that she needed to put on 16 kg of weight for the part. She also questioned if modern actors would be willing to go to such lengths for a role. Parineeti went on to say that she was only aware of a handful of actors who would have been as committed as she was.
She said, “I had to put on 16 kg for this film. How many actresses are really ready to do that today? I only know a couple, only a couple of actresses who have done that - really dedicated, committed actresses.”
Parineeti further mentioned, “Just for two years, I didn't do any other work. Singing live on the sets - who takes that risk to sing live on a set and let that sound be used in a film? Nobody is confident enough to do it. They want to do it in a studio. So, I think there are many things that Diljit and I both did in this film under the leadership of Imtiaz sir, which are not usually done. That motivates me to take more risks because we believe in the audience, and they accept us when we do these kinds of things.”
Parineeti stated that since Amar Singh Chamkila's release in April 2024, she has been taking a rest. She said that she relished spending time by herself with for her husband, Raghav Chadha. The actress would now prefer to return to the sets.
Parineeti revealed that she now desires to appear in the right films, “The plan is just to do films that really feel right. I have done films for the wrong reasons. Sometimes, I have done films that I may not have believed in. It feels like there is homework for me to do when the audience are going to really get a crazy good performance out of me. It just motivates me to do such roles that require homework. Homework that maybe nobody else can do.”
Parineeti also stated that she respects every area of her life equally. She has other interests in addition to her work, food, and travel; except for her family, nothing completely engages her life. The actress also mentioned how she generally leads a balanced life and how any major disruption to that balance affects her.
