‘I increased my treadmill speed!’: Parineeti Chopra recalls funny gym moment with her ‘idol’ Katrina Kaif

Bollywood actor Parineeti Chopra once made a candid and amusing confession about her admiration for fellow actress Katrina Kaif, calling her nothing less than her “idol.”

During an appearance on the popular chat show Koffee with Karan, alongside Aditya Roy Kapur, Parineeti opened up about how Katrina’s calm and composed personality often makes her feel nervous.

Speaking about her admiration, Parineeti said she deeply respects the way Katrina carries herself and admitted that being around her can feel intimidating.

Recalling a hilarious gym incident, Parineeti shared how she once spotted Katrina entering the gym and instantly felt the pressure to look more hardworking.

“That day, she came to the gym, and I quickly increased the speed of my treadmill,” Parineeti revealed with a laugh.

Things got even funnier when Katrina walked up to her and asked how long she had been working out.

When Parineeti replied that she had already done 20 minutes, Katrina, in what Parineeti described as her serious tone, told her to continue for five more minutes.

Parineeti said she immediately agreed, saying, “Okay, okay, whatever you say,” further proving just how much she admires Katrina.

Host and filmmaker Karan Johar then asked Aditya Roy Kapur whether he too felt intimidated by Katrina. Aditya admitted that he does feel that way “from time to time.”

Both Parineeti and Aditya agreed that Katrina’s straight-faced expression can make anyone around her feel slightly nervous, even though she is known for being warm and professional.

While Parineeti has never shared screen space with Katrina, Aditya famously starred opposite her in Fitoor.

On the work front, Parineeti has recently stepped into the music space once again with her devotional track Namami Shamisham. The actress revealed through social media that she recorded the song while she was pregnant with her son, Neer.

Sharing the release with fans, she expressed her excitement and signed off with “Har Har Mahadev,” making it a special and emotional moment for her followers.

The story offers a lighter glimpse into Bollywood friendships and admiration, reminding fans that even stars can have their own idols.
