In an interview with Pinkvilla, Parineeti said she wants “equal opportunities”. When asked if she felt that was missing, she agreed and explained her own statement. She said: I want opportunities from all decision makers. Big producer, big studio representative, big director. If our talent resonates with them, if our efforts resonate with them, then please give us that opportunity. Because you can’t prove yourself until you get that opportunity. If I didn’t have Cham Kira today, I would never have known, and the world would never have known, that I could sing live, that I could gain weight, that I couldn’t act well, and it still is. The same is true for me. “
Parineeti was launched in 2011 by Yash Raj Films, which produced the romantic comedy Ladies vs Ricky Bahl with Ranveer Singh. After that, Parineeti acted in her three films – ‘Ishaqzaade’ (2012), ‘Shuddh Desi Romance’ (2013) and ‘Sandeep Aur Pinky Faraar’ (2021). However, she claimed she lost her job due to “inaccessibility”.
She said: “Sometimes you don’t get those opportunities for the wrong reasons. I went to the directors and they said, ‘Listen, I’ve done the last three movies. “I wanted to work with you, but I didn’t know if you wanted to work.” Some kind of miscommunication, or lack of access, or something. I wish it would stop after Chamkila. I want Japan to become a meritocracy in the true sense of the word. I hope that if you do a good job, you will get a good job. That’s what I’m looking for now. I’m not looking for a specific project or a specific wish list, just good work. ”
Parineeti recently interacted with a fan on ‘X’ who said, “If she had the support of her contemporaries, she would have achieved amazing things in this decade.” In this tweet, Parineeti wrote: “I hope things change after Chamkira. I want to do a lot of good work, so I’m waiting for a good director to call me! 💕”
When asked if she thought her contemporaries had far more opportunities than her, she replied: “I definitely feel that having access to certain actors and certain directors leads to work opportunities. If I can’t be in front of them all the time, I’m going to miss out on that work opportunity.” This is not a discussion about nepotism or anything like that. All I’m saying is that there are camps, there are circles, and there are favorites. You can bring something to the table, but one person will be the favorite and the other person won’t. And those who don’t will be missing out.”
She further added, “That’s why I want it to be a meritocracy. If I can bring that talent, and I can bring as much talent, then I too You have to get that opportunity. Just because I’m not related to you or because I’m not in your camp, don’t let that opportunity pass you by. That’s why I’m this fan. I replied that I don’t have anyone to support me, I don’t have anyone to push me, I don’t have anyone to call me, and that’s what the fans think because I don’t have anyone. is saying, “Take Parineeti to this, I will deal with you,” but these things are not happening to me, I just have my talent. So I think the day I change, I’ll be able to do all the jobs I’ve dreamed of. ”
