Parineeti Chopra on lobbying in Bollywood
Speaking to Bollywood Hungama, Parineeti Chopra talked about lobbying in Bollywood and how actors lose significant films due to being unsocial to producers and directors.
She said, "Getting work in Bollywood doesn't only depend on merit or acting, you have to be in cliques and camps to get roles. I am not present at the right place at the right time. I am not getting papped every day.” She added, "My PR game sucks."
"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. I won a National Award for Ishaqzaade 10 years ago. I am still the same actor," the Amar Singh Chamkila star shared
Talking about her choices in films, Parineeti said that she wants to be the voice for actors who aren't part of 'cliques and camps.' "I hope we break this system of lobbying in Bollywood because I want equal opportunities and work. I may have done the wrong films, but I am the same actor who started 10 years ago and is in search of the right platform," she further added.
