Today is the birthday of a vivacious actress who has carved
a niche for herself with just 3 movies. We're talking about none other than,
Parineeti Chopra!!! Chopra was born on 22nd
October 1988 in Ambala to a Punjabi family. At the young age of 17, she moved to London where
she received a triple honor degree in business, finance, and economics from
the prestigious Manchester Business School. During a visit to Yash Raj Studio
with her cousin,
Priyanka Chopra, she was introduced to the head of PR and was
offered an internship in the marketing department. While working on promotions
of
Band Baaja Baraat, she realized she
wanted to be an actress and decided to quit her job. Initially Aditya
Chopra
was aghast at the suggestion to cast a girl from his own marketing
department. But as the fates would have it, Aditya Chopra ended up
seeing her audition tape and within no time she was offered a 3 film
deal with the production house.
Chopra made her onscreen debut in 2011 in
Ladies v/s Ricky Bahl in a supporting
role. The film received mixed reviews from the critics but everyone agreed
Chopra was undoubtedly the best. She won the Filmfare, IIFA, Apsara, and
Screen Awards for Best Debut, while she also bagged the Apsara and IIFA for Best
Supporting Actress. Her second release and first movie as a lead was
Ishaqzaade with
Arjun Kapoor. The film
was loved by audiences and critics alike, and her portrayal of the feisty Zoya
was touted as the biggest strength of the film. The movie was credited as a
super hit and earned a National Film Award Special Mention. Chopra's recent
stint at the box office was
Shuddh Desi Romance
alongside
Sushant Singh Rajput, which was also a commercial success.
She has a few projects in the pipeline opposite heartthrobs
Sidharth Malhotra, Aditya Roy Kapoor and
Ranveer Singh. Chopra actively
supports a number of causes and has even walked the ramp at Wills India
Lifestyle Fashion Week to support an NGO dedicated to empowering girls. She
endorses a variety of brands and has become a household name after appearing in
commercials for Kurkure, Nivea, Maaza, and We Chat.
Wishing this spunky
lass a very happy birthday and successful year ahead from the entire BollyCurry team!
