Busy as a bee, Parineeti Chopra has a lot on her plate and tells
she is enjoying her work and doesn't feel threatened by her colleagues.
"This is my fourth year in the industry. And I'm doing
the work that I am really enjoying," told the actress who is rubbing
shoulders with the likes of Anushka Sharma, Deepika Padukone and Sonakshi
Sinha.
With seven movies to her credit, Parineeti tells she is far
more alert and nervous.
"Initially, I had nothing to lose. But with every
passing film there are more expectations to live up to... There is a checklist
of directors and actors you want to work with. The dreams expand and so do the
anxieties. I want to be known for being versatile. So I'll search now for the
roles that take me to another level."
The spirited scene-stealer tells she doesn't see any of her
contemporaries as rivals.
"I don't really feel anyone is a threat. There is
enough room for everybody. That's how I feel right now. Maybe two years down
the line, I'll start peering anxiously over my shoulder. But at the moment I'm
happy to be just doing the work that I am," told the actress who debuted
with "Ladies Vs Ricky Behl".
Parineeti has no regrets about opting out of Shoojit
Sircar's next movie "Piku", in which she was to play Amitabh
Bachchan's daughter.
"The dates clashed with another film. I was so looking
forward to it because it gave me a chance to work with two of the finest actors
we have - Bachchan saab and Irrfan," she told and further added,
"Maybe it was too early for me to work with these stalwarts. I'd have
probably forgotten my lines and just stared at them."
As for losing out on the chance of doing a father-daughter
film with the Big B, Parineeti told, "I have a very strong father-daughter
bonding with Anupam Kher sir in 'Daawat-e-Ishq'. As for Bachchan saab, I'm sure
I'll have other opportunities to work with him."
"The audiences saw a new me in 'Hasee Toh Phasee'. Now
they'll see me in an entirely new avatar in Shaad Ali's 'Kill Dill'.
"I've lots on my plate. Till the release of 'Hasee Toh
Phasee', I was shooting two films, dubbing and promoting. There was no time for
myself. And I can't complain. Good scripts are coming my way. Obviously I can't
say yes to every film and endorsement that comes my way."
About losing out on the popular awards this year, the
pragmatic Parineeti told, "Deepika Padukone deserved them. It would have
been odd if I or anyone else got them. But I was nominated. And I was very
happy."
Having worked with Ranveer Singh, Arjun Kapoor, Sushant
Singh Rajput, Siddharth Malhotra and Aditya Roy Kapoor, Parineeti tells she's close
to all of them.
"But there is a special bonding with Arjun. We spent
three months shooting together in Lucknow .
Now I've spent a lot of time shooting with Aditya in Hyderabad .
So these two are my favourites," told the actress.
