"One day I saw a picture of myself and I got really scared. I looked at myself and I didn't recognise myself. This is not a 26-year-old girl. I have no right to look like this, especially if I am an actress. And at that time, one film of mine had flopped also. So it just kind of triggered it. I was like, 'Okay, this is the right time to take a break. I am not going to shoot anything for six months. I am going to work on myself and just recalibrate'," affirmed the Namaste England star.
Parineeti Chopra added that around the same time she was also busy setting up her new home and wanted to give undivided attention to her fitness regime and house.
Parineeti is currently on a career-high with Kesari's box-office success with Akshay Kumar. Her next project is with Arjun Kapoor - Sandeep Aur Pinky Faraar - and Jabariya Jodi with Sidharth Malhotra. Apart from this, she will also be seen getting into the shoes of Saina Nehwal for her biopic.
Not just this, she has also been roped in for the Hindi remake of The Girl On The Train.
