Shraddha on her weight in ‘Haseena Parkar’: I wish I could gain all that weight myself

Shraddha Kapoor will be seen playing the titular role in Apoorva Lakhia’s ‘Haseena Parkar’ which is slated to hit the screens on September 22, 2017. The actress has gained seven to eight kilos for the film. But, to play the older Haseena Parkar who was on a very heavier side, Shraddha had to use body suit and prosthetics.

So, when we recently met Shraddha for an interview, we asked her if the makers had asked her to gain that much of weight, the actress stated, “That’s what I tried. I tried to do that (gain that much of weight), but unfortunately my body went up to eight kilos. Your metabolism is also high right, so my metabolism is on the higher side. I would have taken like two years to gain that weight. I wish I could gain it faster and gain all that weight myself. My body type is like that, like whatever I was gaining was coming very little, nothing was going on my arms. My arms were skinny.”

The promos of the film are being liked by everyone and Shraddha’s transformation is surely something we are looking forward to. The movie also stars Shraddha’s real life brother, Siddhanth Kapoor who will be seen playing Haseena’s brother, Dawood Ibrahim.
