In her post, she wrote: “Loved that! Let’s break common myths about India… Send me videos/myths!”.

Another user wrote: “Everyone who lives in Rajasthan carries multiple pots of water on their head through the desert.”

The ‘Ishaqzaade’ actress clarified, “It’s a beautiful traditional image! But Rajasthan also has commercial and modern cities.”

One fan said: “Completely unrelated to what you have asked, but Raghav is the cutest husband one can get.” Parineeti responded with humour, “Small break for FACTS”, accompanied by a kiss emoji.

On the professional front, Parineeti recently portrayed Amarjot Kaur in the biographical musical drama ‘Amar Singh Chamkila’. Directed by Imtiaz Ali, the film stars Diljit Dosanjh as the titular character.

It charts the untold true story of Punjab’s original rockstar of the masses, the highest record-selling artist of his time, Amar Singh Chamkila.

Parineeti began her acting career in 2011 with the romantic comedy ‘Ladies vs Ricky Bahl’, alongside Ranveer Singh and Anushka Sharma.

Parineeti never follow trends

Parineeti Chopra to sing her first song for a film(IANSLIFE)

I never really follow trends as I really don’t understand fashion as much. I am always a sneaker and comfort dressing girl and I think I will continue being that…says Parineeti

The recently concluded LFW X FCI event in Mumbai saw a lot go Bollywood glamour both on and off the runway. While many say it is a return to pre pandemic days, others say that fashion has gone back to a time in the business when stars overpowered fashion and collections were sidelined.

Be that as it may, from amongst the bevy of beauties at the event, we got a rare sighting of actress Parineeti Chopra who walked the runway for designer Ritika Mirchandani. Chopra was a picture of elegance when she stopped the show, in a shimmering, white, long, fitted, skirt with a high slit, matching bralette teamed with a structured-shoulders long-sleeved, heavily, embellished, floor-length jacket.

The “Fair La Fete” collection, was a homage to joyful fashion at Lakme Fashion Week in partnership with FDCI. Parineeti speaks about her upcoming project:


Talent or hard work, what do you think is stronger our more important?

Chopra: Neither of them can exist without the other, you could be very talented but if you don’t put in the work it’s going to take you nowhere and without talent sometimes you can work very hard and take yourself a long way, so I think they both are intervened and I always believe they go together.

Any upcoming project that’s very close to your heart?

Chopra: I recently finished shooting a film called Chamkila with Diljeet, directed by Imtiaz and I am very excited about it, because it’s the first time that I will be singing in a film. It’s a very important biopic about the greatest Punjabi singer of all time and it’s really close to my heart.

What’s your take on fashion?

Chopra: I never really follow trends as I really don’t understand fashion as much. I am always a sneaker and comfort dressing girl and I think I will continue being that.

What is your go to style and what makes you happy when it comes to fashion?

Chopra: A white t-shirt, blue shorts and white sneakers is something what I would like to wear at my own wedding. So, you can imagine how much I love it.

‘Saina’ is a special project’

Today, as the biopic of ace shuttler Saina Nehwal is ready for release, Amaal is “nervous and excited at the same time”…writes Samarth Goyal.

Lockdown was surely a period of creativity for most of the artists .Composer-singer Amaal Mallik is thankful for lockdown in a way. It gave him time to create the score of “Saina”, particularly the anthem song “Parinda”.

“Honestly, it was a bit frustrating at times, but it did give me that time to experiment with the music. I wanted to, for example, do something different for ‘Parinda’, since it is the anthem for the film. It was only possible during lockdown, because the film had gotten delayed that I got the time to work on it and that’s when I decided to work with Macedonian Symphonic Orchestra for the film. Overall, the four years didn’t really mean that I had to change the sound a lot,” he says.

The music took four years to be completed. Mallik admits that was “frustrating”, but at the same time was totally worth it “because I got the chance to work with Macedonian Symphonic Orchestra”.

Today, as the biopic of ace shuttler Saina Nehwal is ready for release, Amaal is “nervous and excited at the same time”.

“I am really nervous and excited at the same,” he laughs as he talks over the phone. “It is a special project and everything was really done with a lot of passion. I am really looking forward to seeing how people react to the music in the film,” adds Mallik, who has not only composed the songs in the film, but also created the background score.

This is the first time that the 30-year-old was asked to create a background score for a film. The process, Mallik says, helped him create his songs even better.

“It was a really big deal for me that I got to work on both — the songs and the background score. How it helped me in creating songs was that I knew what kind of music would accompany before and after a particular song. So I knew the exact emotion, the exact soundscape, and that really helped me a lot when it came to the songs,” he says adding that creating background score is not as easy.

“It (background score) is a challenge for sure. I remember learning a lot of things about background music from Salim Merchant sir (of Salim-Suleiman composer duo), and he told me the importance of silences. Sometimes, silence conveys more about a particular situation than music, and understanding that part of background scoring is very important,” he says.

“In a movie like Saina, which is a biopic on one of the biggest athletes in India, there are many highs and lows. The approach, to create music cannot be linear. You have to make music that is not only inspiring and passionate, but also real,” he adds.
