Parineeti Chopra. She’s half-child, half goddess, and a full-blooded woman at the same time. It’s hard to define her because you don’t know where to begin. She arrived with a bang with Ishaqzaade and then like a wayward comet, seemingly lost her trajectory. She was in danger of crashing out but bounced back with back-to-back films like Saina, The Girl On The Train and Sandeep Aur Pinky Faraar, where her histrionics were universally lauded. She loves to chat and has an intelligent take on everything under the sun. She’s brutally candid about everything, be it body shaming, her failing career or her heartbreaks. She’s learnt to love herself, to enjoy whatever life throws at her, and have no regrets. She’s learnt to be her own person and not give two hoots about what others think of her. She’s learnt the importance of family, of friendships, even of doing nothing. Because you need to exhale. After years of wilting under depression, she’s got her mojo back. She’s realised that the sun she’s seeking was blazing inside her all along. And she’s pulsating with newfound radiance and energy. She shares her wisdom, her naivete, her joys as well as her sorrows in this all-encompassing interview, which explores the inner landscapes of her heart, mind and soul.
