For her gym session, the Kesari actress opted for a simple white t-shirt and olive green leggings. She paired her attire with white sports shoes and her favourite pink-black gym bag.
Apart from maintaining her figure, Parineeti can also be spotted honing her badminton skills as prep for the biopic. Her two-hour lessons aside, the actor has begun watching videos of the ace shuttler's matches to ape her body language.
Having replaced Shraddha Kapoor in the Amole Gupte-directed venture, Chopra is pulling out all stops. She says, "I am a visual learner. So the most important advice that I got from Amole sir and my training team was that I must watch Saina's matches. I want to play exactly the way she does. [I make a note of] how she drops her foot, how she uses her racquet and her aggression on the court. I have to imbibe these traits into my personality."
On playing Saina Nehwal, Parineeti says, "I was dying to do a sports-based film. It's a part of my personality as an actor that I have never explored, and I am so happy that I get to portray a strong and powerful girl like Saina! She has put our country on the world map and I excited to put in all the training and hard work that comes with learning the game of Badminton and portraying Saina on screen.
