Actress Parineeti Chopra, known for her recent role in “Amar Singh Chamkila,” has once again shed light on the inner workings of Bollywood, revealing the existence of camps and favoritism within the industry.
Chopra’s portrayal in the Imtiaz Ali-directed film opposite Diljit Dosanjh has garnered widespread acclaim. Despite being the cousin of global sensation Priyanka Chopra Jonas, Parineeti’s journey in Bollywood has been marked by its share of challenges. While she has enjoyed successes like “Golmaal Again” and “Kesari,” she has also faced setbacks with films like “Namaste England,” “Sandeep Aur Pinky Faraar,” and her most recent release, “Mission Raniganj.” Her latest venture, “Amar Singh Chamkila,” debuted on Netflix on April 12, 2024.
In an interview with Pinkvilla, Parineeti Chopra attributed the lack of equal work opportunities in Bollywood to favoritism. She candidly remarked, “I am just saying that there are camps, there are circles, there are favorites. Two people who are similarly talented, who can bring the same thing to the table, one will be a favorite, and one will be not, and the one who is not will lose the work opportunity, which is why I really urge that this becomes a meritocracy.”
Chopra urged industry decision-makers to base casting choices on merit rather than personal relationships or affiliations with certain groups or cliques. She emphasized her desire to be considered for roles based solely on her talent and not on her connections within the industry.
Previously, Parineeti had acknowledged her limitations in navigating the PR aspects of Bollywood, stating that most castings occur at industry gatherings and high-profile events, which she often does not attend.
On the personal front, Parineeti Chopra recently tied the knot with Raghav Chadha, an Indian politician affiliated with the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP). She admitted to developing an interest in politics after entering into a relationship with Chadha.
As fans eagerly await further updates from the Bollywood scene, they can count on Filmiwave to keep them informed.
