Parineeti Chopra Opens Up On Bollywood Nepotism And Favouritism; Says 'Priyanka And I...'

Parineeti Chopra, the talented Bollywood actress, has been making waves with her recent performance in Imtiaz Ali's latest film, Amar Singh Chamkila. However, as a member of the Chopra family, with Priyanka Chopra as her cousin, Parineeti has faced questions about whether her familial ties provided her with an unfair advantage in her career.

In a recent interview on Raj Shamani's podcast, Parineeti candidly addressed these perceptions, stating, "If being related to Priyanka Chopra could’ve helped my career, then I wouldn’t have had any flops in my career. I’ve seen such lows in the last 10 years." She emphasized that while having connections might open doors initially, the journey to success in the film industry is ultimately one's own.

Parineeti also touched upon the broader issue of favouritism in Bollywood, highlighting the pressure individuals face regardless of their background. "Every person who has had some association in the industry is actually under a lot of pressure. You might get your first chance, first audition, first meeting, but after that, you’re on your own and it’s more difficult to prove yourself," she explained. Parineeti stressed the importance of talent and a strong public relations strategy, stating that these factors are crucial for survival in the industry.
