In April 2024, Chamkila became the talk of Bollywood. Director Imtiaz Ali garnered a lot of praise for the film and went on to show why his movies are so deep and beautiful. People loved Punjabi actor-singer Diljit Dosanjh’s acting in Chamkila. While many think he might win top awards for it. actress Parineeti Chopra, who played Amarjot, also impressed everyone. She made a strong comeback with her acting. However, things got heated when Parineeti revealed she had to gain a lot of weight for the role, about 16 to 20 kgs. Netizens criticised this, especially after a video showed Imtiaz Ali saying she only needed to gain six to seven kgs went viral. This caused further confusion, with some doubting her version of the truth. Besides, Parineeti Chopra’s comments about not wearing makeup and looking her “worst” as Amarjot Kaur upset many.
“She’s insulting Amarjot Kaur in every single interview by saying things like, ‘I look like my worst.’ Ffs Parineeti, please stop dragging down someone else to justify your weight gain and feel good about yourself,” read the top comment in the thread. A second comment read, “I googled amarjot kaur, she is not obese, or looks ugly. This woman comes up with excuses and blames for everything that she doesn’t think is going right in her life. Parineeti is not obese she needs to stop worrying.” One user also pointed out what Imtiaz had earlier said as opposed to what Parineeti said. “But in the recent Kapil Sharma episode Imtiaz said as a compliment to parineeti that “she was so willing to put on 16 kgs” or something like that…,” read the comment.
The film Amar Singh Chamkila is directed by Imtiaz Ali and is available to be streamed on Netflix.
