Before becoming one of Bollywood’s most loved actresses Parineeti Chopra had a very different beginning. Currently enjoying motherhood and taking a short break from films Parineeti recently opened up about her early career during an Instagram Ask Me Anything (AMA) session. “I had started by handling PR work for Anushka Sharma” she revealed taking fans down memory lane. “From scheduling her interviews for Band Baaja Baaraat to becoming her co-star in Ladies vs Ricky Bahl it all happened within three months. How cool is that? I’ve always had immense respect for her since then.” From PR desk to the silver screen Parineeti’s journey from behind-the-scenes work to on-screen fame is remarkable. Her first Bollywood outing was in Ladies vs Ricky Bahl (2011) which featured Ranveer Singh Deepanita Sharma and Aditi Sharma among others. The story revolves around Ranveer’s charming but deceitful character who pretends to love three women only to swindle them. The women realising the truth come together and hire Anushka Sharma’s character to seek revenge. The film packed with comedy and drama earned her early recognition and praise. How did Yash Raj films shape her career? Before stepping in front of the camera Parineeti worked in the marketing department of Yash Raj Films. Her cousin Priyanka Chopra introduced her to the studio’s team. Soon director Maneesh Sharma signed her for three films with Ladies vs Ricky Bahl marking her debut. This swift transition from marketing to acting highlighted not only her talent but also her dedication and work ethic. Parineeti continues to build her career in Bollywood while also embracing a new chapter in her personal life — motherhood. Fans admire her ability to balance life off-screen with her thriving career and her journey serves as an inspiration for anyone chasing their dreams.
