The Chopra sisters, Parineeti and Priyanka, are in the spotlight once again for speaking out about the unfair treatment they’ve faced in Bollywood. Parineeti recently shared how she was asked to pay 4 lakhs a month for a trainer and nutritionist to lose weight. She couldn’t afford it as she was just starting out in the industry, having been paid only 5 lakhs for her first film, Ishqzaade. Despite the pressure to meet certain standards, she remained honest about her financial constraints, highlighting the challenges faced by newcomers in the industry.
Parineeti Chopra shared, “I couldn’t afford 4 lakhs a month. This was my third film. I remember talking to a co-actor who grew up privileged. He said, ‘If you can’t afford it, you shouldn’t be in this profession.’ I was paid Rs 5 lakhs for my first film.” She highlighted the financial challenges faced in the industry, showing how some struggle to meet the high standards expected, especially early in their careers.
Parineeti Chopra admitted she’s never quite grasped how Bollywood works. She felt like a deer caught in headlights, facing judgment from others. Her candid admission sheds light on the challenges newcomers face in navigating the complex entertainment industry, where expectations and scrutiny can be overwhelming.
