<p> Having been on a weight losing spree, actress Parineeti Chopra felt the pressure of Bollywood to be in shape but she is now happy to be fit.<br /><br /></p>.<p>"There are women who are pregnant or are dealing with post pregnancy weight, or teenagers who are obese, from across the world, (they) want to know my story. I am a fat-to-fit story," Parineeti told reporters here at a song launch event.<br /><br />"I have struggled with my weight. I was big and unhealthy, not chubby. I took it upon myself to work towards this. There was pressure of Bollywood to bring me on right part."<br />The 27-year-old actress now eats and sleeps well.<br /><br />"I am fit now. People need to be fit no matter what size they are. I was big and unfit. There are dancers in New York who are big but flexible. It took me a year-and-half to reach here."<br /><br />The "Daawat-e-Ishq" actress was away from the screen for quite sometime and now post her weight-loss break, she is all charged up.<br /><br />"Of course, I missed (being on screen). When I entered the film industry I did four films back-to-back as everyone was used to seeing me on screen. I am not filmy as these (star kids) guys. I come from a different discipline and I have lived my life in a different way. I needed that emotional break. I wanted to settle down."<br /><br />Parineeti feels the break helped her sort out her priorities.<br />"It's a different world for me. I come from a world of banking and academics and I had to be in front of camera all the time and had the pressure. I just wanted to sort out some things."<br /><br />The "Hasee Toh Phasee" actress is glad that she can wear better clothes now.<br />"Now I have this dedication and concentration on my work because of the break. I wanted to work on my body, I am 27 years old. I wanted to wear shorts and better clothes and not worry about anything. This one year break was amazing."<br /><br />Parineeti will be seen dancing with Varun Dhawan in the "Jaaneman" song from his upcoming film "Dishoom". <br /></p>
