To them, I just want to say (uses her middle finger to wipe off a tear).” Parineeti wrote along with the Reel, “And goodnight! (face with sunglasses and laughing emojis).”

Vidya’s weight loss 

In an interview with Galatta India, Vidya spoke about tremendous weight loss. “You know, all my life, I have struggled to be thin. I have dieted and exercised like crazy, and sometimes, I would lose weight, and it would come back… and then, early this year, I met a nutritional group called Amura (Amura Health) in Chennai. They said, 'It is just inflammation; it is not fat'. So, they put me on a diet to get rid of the inflammation, elimination of inflammation it is called, and it worked beautifully for me and the weight went like that because they eliminated foods that were not suiting me. I have been a vegetarian all my life, (yet) I didn't know palak and doodhi (spinach and bottle gourd) don't suit me. We think all vegetables are good for us, but that is not the case. You have to figure out what's good for you as just because it is good for someone else, it may not be good for you,” the actor said.
