Parineeti Chopra

“I enjoy people who talk intelligently.”

“On screen, if I have to wear shorts or bikini for a scene, I should have the body for that.”

“I think I could be good on TV.”

“I count the weeks and days before my birthday.”

“Singing is something that I have learnt. I have given exams for it.”

“If there's any actor who is saying we are not insecure, they are lying, because this job is an emotional one.”

“I hope people don't get bored of me. That fear is always there.”

“Social media is the wrong place to judge what India is thinking about.”

“I don't want to do a film where I have a ten minute role.”

“It's my life's aim to make people understand the job of an actor, what they go through, and why they are such a protected species. People see the glamour part of it. But there's so much stress that often you don't even pay attention to the luxuries.”

“I think directors look at me because I am an energetic person with a strong personality and always like to make people laugh.”

“When you finish reading a script and think it is good but have reservations about a kissing scene, it means that you haven't understood the script completely.”

“Actors are fighting at all time. The love you get is amazing. When you don't get it, it is the most excruciating career you can be in.”

“Govinda can act in his sleep. He is just amazing.”

“I never wanted to be singer. People in my family love music, and I pursued it as a hobby.”

“I think size zero is extreme. Even if I starve and stop eating, I don't think I would ever reach size zero in life.”

“I hadn't grown up thinking that I have to be this big actress in Bollywood.”

“Don't leave your job without getting an acting offer. Very few people in the industry are lucky to get a film without much struggle and be successful.”

“I want a guy who can take care of me. He should be rock solid and someone I can depend on.”

“Whenever I read a script, I don't differentiate between a kissing scene or an emotional scene.”
