Parineeti Chopra, one of the actresses in Bollywood would take all sorts of challenges to do justice to her role in any film. The actress is currently basking in the success of her latest release Amar Singh Chamkila and has received positive reviews for her role as Amarjot.

She also spoke at length about her fitness regime and the challenges that came with it.
In the podcast with Raj ShamanI, Parineeti Chopra said, "Don’t come from a very rich background. I’m actually a very simple, middle-class girl. I genuinely don’t understand Bollywood. I genuinely don’t know how people in Mumbai operate. I don’t have these high-flying friends. I don’t have a trainer, stylist, everything is already ready for me. And people who were already from here and already knew this world judged me a lot.”
She further added, "I don't have Rs 4 lakhs a month to pay. I don’t make that money. This is my third film.’ And I remember going up to a co-actor of mine who has definitely grown up in Bombay, in this world, and of course, comes from a place of privilege. He’s like, ‘Why aren’t you hiring these people? And I said, ‘Listen, but I really can’t afford it.’ I was paid 5 lakhs for my first film. He was like, ‘If you can’t afford it, then you shouldn’t be in this profession."
