There is no denying the fact that Bollywood is a cut-throat industry, where fame is fickle, and friendships are even rarer. In a recent conversation with a leading daily, actress Parineeti Chopra spoke about friendships and the feeling of competition in the industry.
The actress confessed that despite the fact that she, Alia and Shraddha are peers, there is a no feeling of competition between them. The actress said, "There are more films being made than the number of actors in the industry. From the biggest stars to the newest people, there are about 20-30 actors, but over 160 movies are being made every year." Talking about her peers, she added. "Alia, Shraddha and I are very different when it comes to our personalities and our work, so directors consider us for different roles. The important thing is to remain in a position that’s good enough to be offered good movies."
The actress also believes that because the younger lot of actors are friends, it helps ebb the feeling of competition and peer pressure. As a parting statement, the actress said, "We don’t think like that. In fact, we often talk about our films and what we’re doing. It’s an encouraging, friendly and positive relationship. It’s similar to what VD (Varun Dhawan), Arjun (Kapoor) and Sid (Sidharth Malhotra) share. We talk about films and the kind of movies we should do."
