Earlier, at the trailer launch of her upcoming movie, ‘Amar Singh Chamkila’, her outfit choice caught the public’s imagination. Dressed in a kaftan, a graceful ensemble nonetheless interpreted as loose-fitting attire, the gossip mills began churning. It didn’t help that she was later seen in an oversized white shirt paired with black pants, further fueling the speculation.
In response, the ‘Ishaqzaade’ actress did not mince words when she took her stance to Instagram Stories. She lightheartedly laid out the equation set by the rumor mill: “Kaftan dress=pregnancy, oversized shirt=pregnancy, comfy Indian Kurt=pregnancy,” accompanied by a laughing emoji, effectively shutting down baseless assumptions.
‘Amar Singh Chamkila’, the film around which the original hubbub began, promises audiences a journey through the life of a rebel artist who rose from obscurity to stardom.

As the film readies for its premiere on the OTT platform Netflix, commencing April 12, anticipation builds for this homage to the cultural icon.
Chopra’s post-wedding appearance and attire choices should have been just regular fodder for fashion columns. Yet, as is often the case with celebrities, even a simple wardrobe update can spiral into personal speculations.

As the release of ‘Amar Singh Chamkila’ approaches, two things become clear: Parineeti Chopra’s fans have much to look forward to, both in her sartorial displays and her on-screen performances. One may expect her keen fashion sense, now highlighted with concentrated scorn on baseless speculations, to remain a steadfast trait of her public persona.
