Actress Parineeti Chopra has shed oodles of weight recently, but the actress insists it isn’t for a role as such but more because she wanted to do it anyway.

"There have been a lot of rumours that I am losing weight for Hasee Toh Phasee, but that's not true. I will just try and lose as much as I can, so I can look as good as I can in my next film," said the 24-year-old to IANS.

"I was anyway planning to lose weight because for Ladies vs Ricky Bahl, I had to be a little chubby and then of course, I started losing for Ishaqzaade. But I want to look a little better, so I decided to lose weight anyway," she added.

Scheduled for release in January next year, shooting for Hasee Toh Phasee has begun. It has Sidharth Malhotra in the male lead. 

Parineeti, who won appreciation for her performances in her last two films, Ishaqzaade and Ladies Vs Ricky Bahl said: "I know there are a few actresses who are very comfortable with their size and would like to only concentrate on acting, I would like to do both."

When questioned if she would don a bikini for a film the actress said:

"Yeah, if one day I have the body for it, I will.”

In addition to Hasee Toh Phasee, Chopra will be see inManeesh Sharma's untitled film and Kill Dil with Ranveer Singh.
