I'm a proud YRF girl: Parineeti Chopra
Mumbai
February 17, 2017
Actress Parineeti Chopra says she is proud of her association
with Yash Raj Films, under which she not only made her debut but also did movies
like "Ishaqzaade" and "Shuddh Desi Romance".
Parineeti on Friday attended
the Yash Chopra Memorial Award ceremony, where veteran singer Asha Bhosle was
feted an award in memory of late filmmaker Yash Chopra.
Since the actress
has worked in films like "Ladies vs Ricky Bahl", "Meri Pyaari Bindu", "Kill Dil"
and "Daawat-e-Ishq" -- all produced under Yash Raj Films, Parineeti took a
moment to talk about her journey.
"I am a very proud YRF (Yash Raj Films)
girl. I have had the privilege to debut under the banner. Even though I could
never be directed by Yash Chopra sir, but he was cutest, sweetest and
friendliest mentor to have."
Reminiscing one such incident with the
filmmaker, known for his romantic sagas, Parineeti said: "One day when my first
film 'Ladies vs Ricky Bahl' had just released and I was shooting for my second
film 'Ishaqzaade', I was on the set at 6:30 a.m. and suddenly I got a call from
Yash Chopra sir.
"At that time, I panicked because I thought I had made
some mistakes because I was very new at that point. But when I picked his call,
he said something so special that it made me cry.
"He said, 'Yesterday I
saw your film 'Ladies vs Ricky Bahl' and thank you for being part of my film'. I
couldn't believe that Yash Chopra the great was saying this to me and I just
realised in that instance that there is nothing bigger than humility. The bigger
you become, the more humble you should become and that is something that I
always remember Yashji for."
Parineeti will next be seen on screen in
Dibakar Banerjee's "Sandeep Aur Pinky Faraar", Vipul Amrutlal Shah's "Namastey
England" and Dharma Productions' "Kesari".
"I am leaving in three days to
start 'Namastey England' but I think I am even more excited for 'Kesari'. It has
been a dream to work with Akshay Kumar sir from a really long time.
"He
is also Punjabi and I am also Punjabi, and we are doing a very Punjabi film. So,
I am very excited to go and start shooting for that film."
