A video shared by Parineeti Chopra's fan club on Twitter shows Parineeti and Alia Bhatt wishing their mutual friend on birthday. 

When Alia Bhatt asks Parineeti Chopra if she has any tips for their friend, Parineeti says, "Eat less... and become thin."

Shocked? Alia Bhatt, too, seemed to be flummoxed after hearing Parineeti's response and replied, "Arre..."

Parineeti Chopra might have said it in jest, but the comment seems to have irked Twitterati who pointed out the irony behind it.

Parineeti Chopra, who stunned fans and the industry with her new fit avatar, has been a victim of body shaming in the past.

In an earlier interview, the actress had said no one has the right to comment on how people look.

"This (body shaming) will soon become a past. Everything comes in phases. If you yourself are not comfortable about your body, do something about it. If you are comfortable, let it be. Other people have no right to comment anyway," Parineeti had said. (Read more)

Here are some reactions on Twitter:

After Parineeti herself was fat shamed you'd think she'd be a little more sensitive to a poor BIRTHDAY GIRL wtf man https://t.co/DEEdEsTL44

Three months ago, Parineeti Chopra had shared a powerful post on Instagram to shut down body shamers with a photo from her past. 

Here's what Parineeti Chopra wrote:

 

BEFORE .. 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. 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! Girls and women meet me all around the world, at airports, events, on the street; they hold my hand, hug me, and tell me their struggles and how I changed their lives. They show me their wallpapers, their wallets, and its all pictures of me!! They look at those pictures and want to make that change in their own lives. They look at my Built That Way campaign and have stuck it to their walls. I have seen women tear up and tell me I changed their life. Post delivery weight, teenage obesity, they are fighting it, and I am their inspiration. 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....
