Parineeti's body transformation received negative feedback from the public after she shared a video on social media where she advised Alia Bhatt to "eat less and become thin" as a birthday wish. Twitter users called out her behaviour as "fake" and "obnoxious" and criticized her for promoting unhealthy body image standards. Additionally, in 2015, Parineeti was awarded the Star Dust Award for Style Icon of The Year; however, Rishi Kapoor believed that her weight loss was the sole reason for her win. While talking about this, in an interview, Rishi Kapoor said,
I couldn't believe it when they recently gave an award to Parineeti for losing weight. Can someone please give me an award for gaining weight?"
