New Delhi: Meri Pyaari Bindu will mark Parineeti Chopra's return to the silver screen after two years. But the actress is happy that she finally got the time to work on her fitness.

Parineeti said that she was busy with other commitments.

"Speculation is bound to happen. Even though I was not shooting for a film, I never went away. I was doing a lot of events, appearances and of course I was working on myself. I released my campaign 'Build That Way' in December last year. I made it very clear that I was reading a lot of scripts and was waiting for the right one," Parineeti told PTI.

The 27-year-old actress is happy that she utilised her time to focus on getting fit which has been her long standing goal.

"I have always wanted to be fit for 10-12 years of my life and thought I will take time out. But I was motivated enough. I did not have the will power too. Then I got some time off and I went for it," added Parineeti.

Meri Pyaari Bindu will be produced by Maneesh Sharma while newcomer Akshay Roy will direct it.

Parineeti said that the story of an aspiring singer was perfect to channel her passion for singing with the movie, which also features Ayushmann Khurrana.

"I have been singing since I was a child and I am a trained Hindustani classical singer. I always took music very seriously and passionately. It is one of my biggest passions and hobbies. I was waiting for the right professional opportunity to be able to sing and that's exactly what happened. Maneesh, Adi (Aditya Chopra) and Akshay thought that since my character is that of an aspiring singer, it would be a perfect fit. I am so glad that everything worked out and I got to sing," said Parineeti. (Also Read: The Script Which Parineeti Chopra Was 'Waiting' For is Meri Pyaari Bindu)
