Actress Parineeti Chopra made her debut in Bollywood with 'Ladies vs Ricky Bahl' in the year 2011. Since then, the actress has created a name for herself in the film industry with her stellar performances in films like 'Ishaqzaade', 'Hasee Toh Phasee', 'Meri Pyaari Bindu' and more. People also recognize her as Priyanka Chopra's cousin, but now the actress is elated to have her own identity.
Recently, Parineeti spoke about the topic to a leading daily and stated, "We’re always going to be cousins but today, I have my own identity as well, which I am very proud of. And that has only happened because I did some really gutsy films during the start of my career. I want my entire career to be like that so that I can always surprise my audience and they keep feeling that I’m my own instead of just being my cousin’s sister."
She further added, "I am proud of being her [Priyanka Chopra] sister. When people come up to me and say look how well she is doing, I feel like I have done something [great]. It’s that love for her that I have. And she herself told me when I was starting out, that 'you have to do this on your own'. While it was easy to say, it had to be done with my work and thankfully that happened."
