Till the time the then Indian government, in the early 90s, decided to open up the market to private players and cable television took the country by storm, Doordarshan was the only television channel available. And, it was a big deal. However, Doordarshan’s popularity declined over the years as new channels launched.
Now, a video that is going viral on Instagram has footage from a Doordarshan Chandigarh show telecast in 2004. It shows a young Parineeti Chopra, then just 15, singing along with some other kids.

The video was shared by @star_retrotv on Instagram. Dressed in traditional attire, Chopra belts out a patriotic song with the other kids. It’s like a time machine, taking us back to a simpler era. People online are buzzing about it, reminiscing about the time they used to watch Doordarshan. Many users also wondered how Chopra hasn’t changed much since then.
One user wrote, “Gosh!! She hasn’t changed a bit! Face is exactly the same!” Another user expressed, “She’s still the same.” A third user added, “ZABARDAST FIND.”
Chopra was last seen in Imtiaz Ali’s Amar Singh Chamkila, essaying the role of the singer’s wife, Amarjyot Kaur. Recently, she also opened up on how she gained almost 16 kilos for the role, and how it affected her sleep and her mood
