When Parineeti Chopra revealed how she became an actor
Parineeti Chopra, who made her Bollywood debut with the 2011 film Ladies Vs Ricky Bahl, has proved her mettle by acting in a number of films such as Ishaqzaade, Hasee Toh Phasee, Sandeep Aur Pinky Faraar, The Girl On The Train, Saina, among others. However, did you know, she forayed into acting by luck? In an old interview with Vogue, Parineeti once shared that she wanted to be a banker all her life. “I studied for it, spent 50 lakh on my education in England, and I was on a loan. When I was unable to find a job, on an impulse I took a decision to book a ticket to Mumbai… and the only reason I chose this city was that the ticket was cheaper than the one to Delhi, although I didn't know anyone in Mumbai."
She returned to India in 2009, and she applied at YRF for a job in the accounts department. YRF didn’t have a vacancy for accounts, they instead offered her an internship in the marketing and PR department, which she took up. She was then spotted by director Maneesh Sharma, and she got her first break with Ladies Vs Ricky Bahl.
