Recall how Parineeti Chopra was fat-shamed in front of the media during the ‘Hasee Toh Phasee’ marketing by Sidharth Malhotra.
Bollywood performers are sometimes caught on tape making inappropriate remarks about their female coworkers. Recently, we told you about one such occasion in which Shahid Kapoor and Salman Khan made sexist remarks about the intelligence of Bollywood females. We’ll tell you about the day Sidharth Malhotra publicly fat-shamed Parineeti Chopra in today’s throwback article.
Hasee Toh Phasee, which debuted in 2014 and underperformed at the box office, features Sid and Parineeti together. The movie, which also co-stars Adah Sharma, is directed by Vinil Mathew. A promotional event clip that has surfaced is making waves for all the wrong reasons.
The video in question was shared by a user on the website, and it begins with a journalist questioning Sidharth Malhotra about gaining weight for the film Ek Villain. In response to what he overheard, “Koshish jaari hai. Main inse seekh raha hoon. Inse tips le raha ho kaise weight gain karna hai, ye mujhse tips le rahe kaise weight lose karna hai.” Soon after the video resurfaced, Sidharth Malhotra got trolled for his choice of words.
Commenting on the video a user wrote, “I think that was a attempt to reduce her popularity,” while another said, “We’ll never how these off-handed comments affected Pari, but wow, it must’ve been really hard to constantly have people talk about your weight and appearance on camera. I hope that she wasn’t too fazed by it. And if it did affect her, I hope she’s moved on from all the toxicity in a healthy way!”
A third netizen commented, “Her whole facial expression and body language changed as soon as he said it. What a douche thing to say, and that too in a public forum.”
While the fourth one said, “It clearly affected her. She took 2 years off to lose weight when she was thriving and her career after that just went downhill.”
A fifth Redditor wrote, “She looked uncomfortable after he said it….”
“That’s such a disgusting thing to say. Nothing can make someone unattractive faster than unkindness,” “All these idiots cost Parineeti her career. She was so gorgeous Chandigarh beauty type girl, and pura kachra hogya career ka,” another few comments read.
“No no, we won’t say anything bad about him. He is a gentleman. So what if he fat shamed Pari, cheated on Alia. He is not Ranveer or Ranbir” wrote another user.
In the meantime, Parineeti Chopra and AAP leader Raghav Chadha are set to wed, and the wedding is expected to be a lavish Indian affair.
