Parineeti Chopra Priyanka Chopra inspirational facts about this Hasee toh Phasee actor

In the Bollywood limelight Parineeti Chopra is known for her goofy, animated roles. But when the cameras are shut and the lights are down, this Ishaqzaade actor remains a box of inspirations. Starting out in Ladies Vs Ricky Bahl, Parineeti Chopra has appeared in a lot of challenging roles and won critical praises for her acting skills. And as she turns 30 today, we look at the other inspirational phase of Parineeti Chopra:

From the chubby girl to the fitness model: Losing and putting on weight for roles or to look better is all too common when you are a celebrity. However, not many take this talk as accepting as the young actor does. In one of the interviews she is quoted as saying, "I was sick and tired of clothes not fitting and having limited options on what to wear." And true to her word, the actor managed to shed 28 kg with rigorous workout regime and a strict diet plan.

From celebrity manager to becoming the celebrity: You might now know her as the celerity she is today but Parineeti first started out a celebrity manager for Yash Raj Films before she started out as an actress.

She makes her own stardom: Nepotism isn’t just for Parineeti Chopra. Considering the fact that she is Priyanka Chopra’s cousin, climbing up the Bollywood ladder might not be a big deal for Parineeti. But for the actor, she refuses any such sugar-coats. In one interview, she said, 'She's (Priyanka Chopra) not my role model. In fact, nobody is my role model. In this profession, you cannot aim at having a career like someone else's. I could be inspired by different people for different things, but that's about it,"

She excels in academics: Parineeti is one of those actors who can be good at everything they do. In her 12th grade exams she stood first all over India and was rewarded by the then President of the country. She also has a triple Hons degree in Business, Finance and Economics from the Manchester Business School.

She is a singer too: The Chopras sure have tons of talents in their veins. Like her cousin who acts and sings, Parineeti Chopra is no different. In fact, Parineeti is a trained singer and has a BA Hons degree in music.
