This young entertainer, born October 22, 1988 in Ambala, Haryana, is not just your run-of-the-mill Barbie doll! While most female actors came from the ranks - as models or dancers, Parineeti Chopra was once part of a movie company's executive team. In 2009, she was a public relations consultant for Yash Raj Films. But with a cute face like hers, of course, she could easily pass as an actress (see photo).
Her exposure to the film industry - aside from her consanguinity to cousin Priyanka, a big Bollywood star - brought her to respect the acting profession. In 2011, she had her onscreen debut in a supporting role in "Ladies vs Ricky Bahl", with Ranveer Singh and Anushka Sharma.
A string of movies came soon after, most of which were commended and recognized by award giving bodies such as National Film and Filmfare. I predict that, in the near future, she would become involved in different areas of motion picture production (as either producer or director, or both!)
Her movies list (filmography):
- 2011: Ladies vs Ricky Bahl
- 2012: Ishaqzaade
- 2013: Shuddh Desi Romance
- 2014 (in production): Hasee Toh Phasee, Kill Dil, Habib Faisal's Next
