Parineeti Chopra, who had been in the news for her drastic weight loss, recently penned an inspirational post, which will inspire many women to achieve weight goals.

The 27-year-old actress took to her Instagram page and shared a throwback picture, writing, "All my life, I have struggled with how I look, how I feel, and how people looked at me. I was constantly made fun of, but the person I was, I generously laughed with them. "

She continued, "Today, many people ask me what triggered the weight loss, did I give in to the "bollywood pressure"? To that I say - thank god I became an actor and had that pressure! I am able to achieve what I couldn't achieve otherwise. I feel more confident, I feel at peace, and I feel proud!"

The post further read as, "As an actor, There is no bigger achievement for me. I am glad to be a part of your life in this way. So thank you everyone. Thank You for making me feel loved. Like I always say - if I could do it. So can you. And I am always there for all of you .... Lots of love...."
