The actor later posted an image of her latest Grazia cover flaunting her fit frame and wrote: 'So excited for this one!!! I think red is my favourite colour'
Earlier this month Kareena Kapoor Khan was criticised for sharing a Photoshopped image of her post pregnancy fitness on Vogue's January cover.
However, Parineeti has never shied away from talking about her weight or fitness struggles.
"I used to be 86 kilos; I used to wear size 38. Right now, fitting into a jeans of size 30 is a big achievement," she'd said about her weight loss journey.

While working on the film Daawat-e-Ishq, the actor had revealed how she'd given up on her favourite food while following a strict diet and fitness regime.
"I gave up pizza! It’s my first love. I can let go of anything but not pizza. But I didn’t have a choice."
