'I don't have a bikini body'

Bollywood actresses are readily flaunting a bikini on the big screen, but actress Parineeti Chopra feels she is too overweight to flaunt the two-piece garment. 

Asked if she will be okay wearing a bikini for a film, she says, “If I have a hot body, then why not? But right now I don’t have the right body. I am still overweight, so there’s no way I can wear a bikini.” The actress says that she doesn’t have any limitations as an artiste. 

“I don’t want to restrict myself. I don’t know how long I will act, or when the audience will get bored of me, and then I will not be acting — so (as long as I am in show business), I don’t want to restrict myself,” she reveals. 

Parineeti admits that most actresses justify bold scenes by citing “script demands.”  But she says it is actually so. 

“In Shuddh Desi Romance, Sushant (Singh Rajput) has to be physically close with the characters played by Vaani Kapoor and me for the conflict to happen. If a director says that let’s put some kissing scenes for publicity, I will never do that. It's ridiculus,” she adds.
