Rumour mills were recently rife with reports that Parineeti Chopra is shedding pounds for her upcoming film 'Hasee Toh Phasee', however at a recently held event, the Ishaqzaade star rubbished the reports and stated that she is not losing weight for any film, in particular, but for herself.

At the do, when Parineeti was asked if she is trying to lose weight for the movie, she said, "I was anyway planning to lose weight because for 'Ladies vs Ricky Bahl' I had to be a little chubby and then of course I started losing weight for 'Ishaqzaade' but I wanted to look a little better so I decided to lose weight anyway. But there have been a lot of rumours that I'm losing weight for 'Hasee Toh Phasee', that's not true. I'm going to try and lose weight, as much as I can, so that I can look as good as I can, in my next film."

When quizzed if she would ever lose or gain weight on a filmmaker's demand, the 24-year-old stated, "If my director tells me to lose weight for a particular character, I'll definitely do that. I had put on weight for 'Ladies Vs Ricky Bahl', I was open to that. So if somebody tells me you need to look a certain way for so and so role so sure I will. See I know there are a few actresses who are very comfortable with their size and would only like to concentrate on their acting but I would like to do both."

Parineeti has started shooting for 'Hasee Toh Phasee', which stars Sidharth Malhotra opposite her. Directed by Vinil Mathew, the flick is being produced by Anurag Kashyap's Phantom Films and Karan Johar's Dharma Productions and is slated to hit the theatres on January 24, 2014.
