Parineeti Chopra Reveals Ordering Coffee And Lining Up Interviews For Ranveer, Anushka During Internship Days At YRF
April 29, 2024Parineeti Chopra’s Journey from YRF Intern to Leading Actress
Parineeti Chopra, who’s been getting a lot of praise for her recent role in the movie “Amar Singh Chamkila” with Diljit Dosanjh, has shared some surprising stories about the beginning of her acting career.
Here’s something many people might not know: Before becoming an actress, Parineeti actually worked as an intern in the marketing and public relations department of Yash Raj Films, the same company that produced her first movie. This internship lasted for a year and a half, and during that time, she even helped promote famous actors like Ranveer Singh, Anushka Sharma, and Rani Mukherji!
In a recent interview, Parineeti talked about her internship days. “I helped promote movies like ‘Dil Bole Hadippa’ for Rani Mukherji, ‘Lafangey Parindey’ for Deepika Padukone and Neil Nitin Mukesh, and ‘Badmaash Company’ for Anushka Sharma and Shahid Kapoor,” she said. “I would set up interviews for these actors and even get them coffee.” Her last project as an intern was for the movie “Band Baaja Baarat.”
But here’s the interesting part: Parineeti also revealed how she ended up becoming an actress! She said that just a few days after quitting her internship, she got a call from Aditya Chopra, the head of Yash Raj Films. She was surprised because she didn’t know why he would be calling her.
“He met with me and told me he wanted to offer me a contract to act in three movies for Yash Raj Films,” Parineeti said. “I was completely shocked! It all happened so fast.”
Apparently, Aditya Chopra saw something special in Parineeti during her internship, maybe from an audition tape, and thought she had the potential to be a successful actress. So, he offered her the three-movie deal right away!
This led to a long and successful partnership between Parineeti Chopra and Yash Raj Films. Her first movie with them was “Ladies vs Ricky Bahl,” where she played a supporting role alongside Ranveer Singh and Anushka Sharma. She then went on to star in several other movies for Yash Raj Films, including “Daawat-e-Ishq” with Aditya Roy Kapur, “Sandeep Aur Pinky Faraar” with Arjun Kapoor, and lead roles in movies like “Kill Dil” and “Meri Pyaari Bindu” with Ayushmann Khurrana.
