Actress Parineeti Chopra who is celebrating her 28th birthday on October 22 spoke about her physical transformation and fitness training she underwent recently and also her plans to celebrate her birthday.
 
Last year was dedicated to fitness and getting into preparation mode. Now it's going to be all work. She's just wrapped up a film with Ayushmann Khurrana “Meri Pyaari Bindu” in which she plays an aspiring singer.
 
Her metamorphosis which began in February when she had signed up for Martial arts training, has got her a lot of appreciation. And the actress admits it has changed her life in many ways, starting from superficial tings like wearing better clothes and looking better on screen, to feeling more fit and fresh. 
 
"My stamina has increased. I can work 18 hrs now as opposed to the six - hour shift before," she says, informing that people walk up to her at airports, restaurants and even knock on her car window at traffic signals to compliment her on her look.
"Boys tell me they have shared my pictures with their sisters to inspire them and that makes me happy. I took a break from movies for a year and then I was working. It was a risk but it was worth it ", the Dishoom actress said.
 
Pari said  though she is not a party person and usually celebrates with a lunch with family and friends, this time it'll be a small house party.
 
 "We'll catch up, dance and probably go out. I have been on a strict diet and have been waiting for my birthday because on that one day I can eat whatever I want," she laughed.
 
She caught up with sister Priyanka Chopra while in the US for a concert tour. "I'd met her three weeks before that as well. It was amazing. She is doing a great job but I haven't been able to see the second season of Quantico as yet. I just haven't had the time, but I soon will," she signed off.
