Parineeti Chopra, who has been
appointed as the first Indian woman Ambassador in 'Friend of Australia'
(FOA) advocacy panel by Tourism Australia, says that visiting the
country was like meeting a star.
At a press conference on Monday, Parineti, asked to comment on her
feeling about this association with Australia, said: "I feel really
good. Even if not for this honour, I find myself very connected with
Australia. When i first time went to Australia, I literally did a
'Saashtang namaskaar' (kissed the ground) when I came out of airport.
It was this one location I have been waiting to go to.
"In fact I travel a lot and visit 4-5 new countries every year... I am
that kind of a person. But Australia is one of those places, I was
waiting to visit as I have heard a lot about it and researched so much.
So when I went there it was like meeting a star. it was like, you have
only seen him on TV or seen in pictures, but now meeting in person...
so that was the kind of feeling I had, and I feel very loved over
there."A
The Friends of Australia programme has been devised as a way for
Tourism Australia to foster mutually beneficial long term friendship
with those they regard as unique, positive and influential
storytellers. With this, Parineeti joins fellow Indian Friends of
Australia, chef Sanjeev Kapoor and renowned cricket commentator Harsha
Bhogle.
Asked to comment on her status as single and rumours she was dating
Hardik Pandya, Parineeti said: "Whether I am single or not is not a
discussion, but yes, I am definitely not dating Hardik Pandya. Even I was
surprised when I heard about this from few of my friends."
Parineeti who is teaming up once again with Arjun Kapoor for Dibakar
Benarjee's "Sandeep aur Pinky Faraar", said Arjun has already started
workshops for it.
"We are already in preps... Arjun has already started workshops with
Dibakar. I am starting with 'Golmaal' promotions now and then after its
release I will join the workshops immediately after coming from the
script. But I am very excited as its going to be an intense film, a
physically and mentally challenging film. So very excited to get into
it. After that we (I and Arjun) are doing a very light film 'Namastey
Canada'. So it was like we will be spending next one year together."
"I am very excited, I get along very well with him (Arjun), as he is
one of my closest friends in the industry," said the "Ishaqzaade"
actress.
Apart from Parineeti, "Golmaal Again" also stars Ajay Devgn, Arshad
Warsi, Kunal Khemu, Parineeti Chopra, Tabu, Neil Nitin Mukesh and
Shreyas Talpade. The trailer of the film will be out this month.
