Parineeti Chopra's Fitness Comeback After 'Chamkila' Is Proof That Discipline Wins
Parineeti Chopra has always stood out—not just for her acting chops but also for her openness about personal transformations. Whether she's showcasing her craft on screen or sharing her real-life fitness journey, she never fails to keep it real.
In her latest film Amar Singh Chamkila, alongside Diljit Dosanjh, Parineeti took on the challenging role of Amarjot Kaur. To embody the character authentically, she put on 15 kilos—a physical transformation that was as intense as her emotional portrayal. While her performance left audiences deeply moved, it's her post-film commitment to regaining fitness that's now turning heads.
After wrapping the shoot, Parineeti set a new goal: to return to her fittest self. And she's been doing just that. A recent video on her social media shows her going all in at the gym—weights, core, cardio, the works. In the caption, she reflected on the contrasting phases of her journey.
'I spent six months last year singing in Rahman sir's studio and heading home to binge on junk food, all in an effort to gain 15 kilos for Chamkila," she wrote with a dash of humour and honesty.
Now that filming is done, she's flipped the switch. 'I miss the studio, and I'm sweating it out in the gym trying to look like myself again—and not like Amarjot ji!" she added. 'It's been tough. But anything for you, Imtiaz sir! And this role."
Parineeti's transformation isn't just about weight loss, it's a testament to her discipline, her dedication to her craft, and her ability to embrace both ends of the spectrum. From immersing herself in music and food to pushing through reps and routines, she's showing us that with hard work, getting back to your healthiest self is absolutely possible.

Ragini Khanna Says ‘Don't Call Me Govinda's Niece', But Why?
Last Updated: Ragini Khanna has freely expressed her desire to be recognised and remembered for her personal work and successes. Ragini Khanna, a television actress, opened up about how being associated with Bollywood icon Govinda affected her. In her latest interview, she explained how such titles not only diminish her own accomplishments but also felt disrespectful to Govinda. She has freely expressed her desire to be recognised and remembered for her personal work and successes in the entertainment industry rather than her familial connections. In an interview with Bollywood Bubble, Ragini claimed that being referred to as simply Govinda's niece increased her struggles as a newcomer. She said, 'I don't understand this, because he is in the acting realm and has done a lot of work, so it's easier for people to remember him. The audience has become very convenient — they don't want to remember a person's name, only the relationship. If that fetches viewership for producers, that's what everyone encourages. But I feel it actually increases your struggle as a newcomer. You're burdened with such a heavy image and responsibility." She added that all her cousins got the title of Govinda's nephew and believes it's unjust to them. Many of them have done substantial work and do not deserve to be referred to merely through that link. Ragini added, 'It discredits the person's talent and hard work. If, after everything I've done, people still remember me only for my relationship with my uncle, then I wonder — where is my work in the picture?" Ragini Khanna's Career In Showbiz Ragini Khanna made her television debut in 2008 with Radhaa Ki Betiyaan Kuch Kar Dikhayengi, which was followed by episodes such as Bhaskar Bharti. Her most well-known part, however, was as Suhana Kashyap in Sasural Genda Phool. She's also appeared on reality shows like Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa (Season 4), Comedy Nights Live, Comedy Circus, and others. Moving on from TV, Ragini made her big screen debut with Teen Thay Bhai and has since appeared in films such as Posham Pa, Gurgaon and Ghoomketu starring Nawazuddin Siddiqui.

Mithun Chakraborty Was 'Ranked Higher Than Amitabh Bachchan, Charged Rs 1 Lakh Per Day: Exhibitor
Mithun Chakraborty, Indian cinema legend, kept single-screen theatres alive. Catch him next in The Bengal Files, releasing September 5. Mithun Chakraborty, also known as Mithun Da, is widely regarded as one of the legends of Indian cinema. He has taken it to great heights with his incredible acting and dancing skills. Throughout his career, Mithun Chakraborty has appeared in over 400 films in languages including Bengali, Hindi, Marathi, Tamil, Telugu, Kannada and Punjabi. He achieved immense success in the 1980s and 1990s, and frequently challenged the industry's traditional portrayal of a Bollywood hero. In a conversation with Digital Commentary, Vishek Chauhan, owner of Roopbani Cinema, one of Bihar's oldest theatres, recounted how Mithun's stardom helped keep the business afloat during difficult times. 'Mithun is a legend, regardless of what others say. He used to give us two films per month. Every Mithun film opened with 100% occupancy. We knew the week would be great if it were his films. Usne single screen ko sambhala hua tha jab Bollywood dheere dheere apni elitist daur me nikal gaya tha (He had maintained single-screen cinemas alive as Bollywood gradually drifted into an elitist period)," Vishek said. Mithun Chakraborty Had Outshone Amitabh Bachchan The film exhibitor added, 'From 1985 until 1990, Mithun was rubbing shoulders with the best. People would sometimes rank him higher than Amitabh Bachchan because Mithun has grown so much and given so many hits, so he has experienced that level of popularity as well." Mithun Chakraborty Once Charged Rs 1 Lakh Per Day Vishek further revealed the unique business model of Mithun's films. Shot mostly in Ooty and often produced by Rajeev Babbar, the movies were low-budget but profitable. Mithun would demand Rs 1 lakh per day and the filming had to be done in Ooty. The crew would stay at the Monarch Hotel, which he owned. The film would be distributed to Ooty's theatre owners. Mithun Chakraborty Awards The veteran actor has garnered various honours throughout his career, including the coveted Dadasaheb Phalke Award for 2022, which was given to him at the 70th National Film Awards Ceremony. He also has three National Film Awards and four Filmfare Awards. In January 2024, he received the Padma Bhushan, India's third-highest civilian honour. Mithun Chakraborty's Work Front Mithun Chakraborty will be next seen in Vivek Agnihotri's upcoming drama film, The Bengal Files, scheduled to hit the big screens on September 5. It will face a big box office clash with Tiger Shroff and Sanjay Dutt's Baaghi 4. First Published: July 31, 2025, 12:14 IST Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.
