Parineeti Chopra Saina Look: Actor Parineeti Chopra who is essaying the role of Saina Nehwal in the upcoming biopic recently talked how she got the look for Saina and she gave credit to her sister and actor Priyanka Chopra.
Parineeti had also shared a collage on her Instagram account which had her picture as Saina merged with the real Saina and many social media users noted the resemblance. Some also said that Parineeti doesn't look like Saina Nehwal.
During an interview with Pinkvilla, the actor agreed that she doesn't look like the badminton champion. Chopra said that she focussed on getting the body language and posture right and that it was the most important part about embodying Saina Nehwal for Parineeti Chopra. She also said that the same was advised by her actor cousin Priyanka Chopra.
Priyanka Chopra who had earlier played the role of boxing champion Mary Kom suggested Parineeti get the 'feel' of the character right. Parineeti said, "She was one of the first people I called and I actually spoke to her about the look a lot. Because even she doesn't look exactly like Mary Kom but she transformed herself and looked like her in the film."
She added that Priyanka Chopra told her to not use prosthetics instead asked her to "just mould yourself, mould your body like Saina's. Get the body language right."
Parineeti Chopra said, " She had a lot of tips."
While sharing her picture with Saina Nehwal on Twitter Parineeti expressed her joy and said that she is "thrilled to be able to do THIS as an actor once in my life". Saina Nehwal had also appreciated the actor's effort and had shared a picture of Parineetu looking like younger Saina and said, " Woww this is superb..love the look as mini saina".
The film Saina, directed by Amole Gupta will release on March 26.
