कोई दुश्मन था ये मन मेरा

koi dushman tha yeh man mera

बन गया मीत जा के तेरा

ban gaya meet jaake tera

कोरा कागज़ था ये मन मेरा

kora kagaz tha yeh man mera

लिख लिया नाम इसपे तेरा

likh liya naam ispe tera

my heart was like an enemy,it became a friend to you.my heart was like a blank paper,i wrote your name on it

- kora kagaz,aradhana

Parineeti Chopra Opens Up About Bollywood's Social Dynamics: "Not Attending Parties Cost Me Jobs"

Parineeti Chopra, lauded for her role in "Amar Singh Chamkila," sheds light on the industry's lobbying culture.

Parineeti Chopra's portrayal of Amarjot Kaur in "Amar Singh Chamkila" has earned her accolades after nearly a decade of waiting for such an opportunity. In a recent interview, she candidly discussed the challenges she faced in landing the right projects and roles, attributing it partly to her absence from Bollywood's social circles where work opportunities often emerge.

"I don’t go to dinners and lunches or attend parties where work opportunities are created in Bollywood or those roles are discussed. I want directors and producers to call me for my work because I am willing to work hard," she shared with Bollywood Hungama. Despite winning a National Award for "Ishaqzaade" a decade ago, she feels her career trajectory hasn't aligned with her potential.

Following the positive reception of "Amar Singh Chamkila" on Netflix, Parineeti expressed her gratitude on Instagram, acknowledging her return to the spotlight. However, she acknowledged the prevailing system of lobbying in Bollywood, where social connections often dictate opportunities. "Getting work in Bollywood doesn’t only depend on merit or acting, you have to be in cliques and camps to get roles," she lamented.

Parineeti's reflections shed light on the plight of talented artists who may not conform to industry norms. "I want to be the voice for actors who aren’t parts of cliques and camps. I hope we break this system of lobbying in Bollywood because I want equal opportunities and work," she emphasized.

The actor's commitment to her craft is evident, as she underwent a physical transformation for her role in "Amar Singh Chamkila," sacrificing other projects and public appearances in the process. Despite her versatile performances in films like "Ishaqzaade," "Sandeep Aur Pinky Faraar," and "The Girl on The Train," Parineeti feels her talent hasn't been fully recognized.

However, she finds solace in directors like Dibakar Banerjee and Imtiaz Ali, who prioritize talent over market value. "Dibakar Banerjee and Imtiaz sir are similar. They’re not seen everywhere, every day. They cast me for my work and saw the actor in me," she acknowledged, highlighting the importance of merit-based casting in an industry often driven by social connections.

जिस्मों के पीछे भागे हो फिरते उतरो कभी रूह में

jismo ke peeche bhaage ho phirte utro kabhi rooh mein

you run behind bodies,some time get down into the soul

होता क्या आशिक क्या आशिकी है होगी खबर तब तुम्हें

hota kya aashiq kya aashiqui hai hogi khabar tab tumhein

what is a lover,what love is,you'll get to know

aasan nahi yahan,aashiqui 2

Parineeti Chopra and Raghav Chadha

Parineeti feels incompleted with Raghav. She feels like he who he initially presented himself to be is a lie. The person she fell in love with is now someone completely different. She lacks confidence in him.

Raghav sees Parineeti as someone who is traditionally acceptable. He may see her as someone that would be pleasing to his community. He sees her as someone stable and he may be planning to marry her.

The Lovers reversed is the energy between them. There is something lacking in their relationship. There is a lack of passion. One or both of them may be doubting the other.

How did Raghav initially present to Parineeti - 3 of cups. Someone genuine, popular, and friendly.

How does Parineeti see Raghav now- the sun. She feels like he might be using her for attention or to be famous.

Does Raghav love Parineeti - 6 of wands. Yes. He feels like he's won the lottery being with her.

Does Parineeti love Raghav - 10 of swords. Point blank "no". She feels betrayed by him.
