Film Career
Chopra began working as an executive with Yash Raj Films and that's when she realized she wanted to quit her job to go to acting school. She went on a "dummy audition" for her acting school's casting director and did a monologue from "Jab We Met," after which she was signed to a three-film deal. Her screen debut came in 2011 with the romantic comedy "Ladies vs Ricky Bahl." Her performance was highly praised and resulted in several awards and nominations. Her second film was "Ishaqzaade," which was a super hit at the box office in India. Her next film was "Shuddh Desi Romance" in 2013, which also received immensely positive feedback, acclaim, and nominations.
She then took a three-year hiatus from acting, returning to the screen in 2017 in the romantic film "Meri Pyaari Bindu." Chopra's next role was in "Golmaal Again," which was a blockbuster, smashing box office records and becoming her highest-grossing film to date. It also became one of the highest-grossing Indian films of all time. Parineeti's only release in 2018 was "Namaste England," which was unfortunately a critical and box office miss.
In 2019, she appeared opposite Akshay Kumar in "Kesari," a historical war film that told the story of the Battle of Saragarhi. The film was a success at the box office. Next up, Chopra starred opposite Sidharth Malhotra in "Jabariya Jodi." February 2021 saw the release of "The Girl on the Train," which was a Hindi remake of the American movie of the same name based on the book by Paula Hawkins. Chopra starred as the main character, with "Bollywood Hungama" noting her "brilliant performance." Her films after this included "Sandeep Aur Pinky" and "Saina."
