Parineeti Chopra is currently being appreciated for her recent performance in Imtiaz Ali’s Amar Singh Chamkila. Her portrayal of Amarjot Kaur has not only impressed fans but also left many questioning if she does not get fair opportunities in Bollywood. In a recent interview, Parineeti was also asked about the same when she talked about ‘favouritism’ in the industry.
“I feel that access to certain actors and access to certain directors leads to work opportunity, that’s what I definitely feel. And if I am not available in front of their eyes all the time, I will lose out on that work opportunity,” she told Pinkvilla but also clarified that she wasn’t talking about nepotism.
Parineeti further argued that there are camps in the industry and if one is not a part of such camps, he/she might lose on work opportunities. The actress argued that it should not be the case and that equally talented people must be given a chance to showcase their work.
“I am just saying that there are camps, there are circles, there are favourites. Two people who are similarly talented, who can bring the same thing to the table, one will be a favourite and one will be not and the one who is not will lose the work opportunity which is why I really urge that this becomes a meritocracy. So if I am able to bring that talent, if I am able to bring that same amount, then I must also get the opportunity and not lose it because I don’t have a relationship or I am not in your camp or I am not in your click,” the actress added.
Parineeti further argued that there is nobody in the industry who is “backing” her or making calls to the producers asking them to cast her in their movies. “I only have my talent, so the day that changes, I think I’ll be able to do all the work that I dream of doing,” she continued.
Asked if there can be a solution to such issues in the world of showbiz, the Amar Singh Chamkila actress said, “The thing is I am going to say a very controversial thing here. The problem is there have been actors in the past who have voiced out these problems, I don’t know where that goes usually it doesn’t go well. Like I said, if then only work is the measure then I am doing some good work, please give me a chance based on that. If you expect me to completely change my core and make fake relationships, that’s something I can’t do.”
