Parineeti Chopra Birthday: 5 blockbuster movies including Animal rejected by Chamkila actress

Parineeti Chopra is a famous Indian actress and singer who majorly works in Bollywood films. She has received a lot of awards including a Filmfare and a National Film Award. She hails from Ambala, Haryana into a Punjabi Hindu family. Priyanka Chopra, Meera Chopra and Mannara Chopra are her cousins. She got married to politician Raghav Chadda in a traditional Hindu wedding in 2023.

When she got criticized for her weight, she said, “I agreed with them that I wasn't looking my best. I wasn't doing my best for my fitness. I think I would have gotten hurt if I was doing everything that I could and I was really my fittest, and then people didn't like the way I looked. I think that would have affected me. But I agreed with them because I knew I wasn't doing my best.”

She has worked in several Bollywood movies including Ladies vs Ricky Bahl, Ishaqzaade, Shuddh Desi Romance, Hasee Toh Phasee, Golmaal Again, Kesari Saina, Uunchai, Chamkila and more.
