Parineeti Chopra is getting a lot of love from the audience for her work as Amarjot Kaur in Imtiaz Ali's Amar Singh Chamkila, and in the past week, Parineeti has been celebrating this success by reflecting on her past failures. In a recent interview, Parineeti shared that she made some wrong choices in her film career because of the advice that she received from people around her. She also acknowledged that when she watched some of her own films, she found that she wasn't enjoying them, and decided to take a step back and reevaluate her choices. In a chat with Pinkvilla, when Parineeti was asked if she had the "clarity" to see through her bad choices, she said, "Why not? Am I blind?" Parineeti spoke about the people who she surrounded herself with during this phase, and blamed them for giving her bad advice. "My choices were wrong because I heard the wrong advice. A lot of people gave me a lot of wrong advice. I feel I came into this industry completely unprepared. I didn't know what was required to be a heroine in the industry . I just used to do my work and go home. And then, I started listening to all this advice," she said. Parineeti started her career at Yash Raj Films as a talent manager. At the time, she was living in Mumbai with her cousin Priyanka Chopra, who was one of the biggest stars of the country, and continues to be a popular name internationally. It was after working in YRF for a few years that Parineeti got the opportunity to become an actor in one of their films. Parineeti said that people gave her "template advice," that could be applied to any of her contemporaries. She later realised that this as not "customised advice" which could serve her career. "But that's the wrong way to do it," she said. ALSO READ | With Amar Singh Chamkila, Parineeti Chopra is back and how "You can't copy other people and expect that same results for yourself.
