After a disappointing few years, actor Parineeti Chopra has come back stronger than ever with three back-to-back releases which have received good reviews. The actress started the year strong with The Girl On The Train and followed it up with the Saina Nehwal biopic, Saina. However, it is the recently released Sandeep Aur Pinky Faraar which has earned her some rave reviews. Chopra has been over the moon in the past few months and has consistently mentioned that the "old days are back again", perhaps referring to the days when she was a critic's favourite. Now, Chopra has revealed what her cousin, Priyanka Chopra Jonas, thought about the movies."She always gives me this advice, she said, 'When we are in a film and we do not meet the audience's expectations of ours, that's our fault. Because they do expect a good performance from us. So don't be in a film (where you) don't give it your all. Do something interesting or do something, don't be in a film just for the sake of it'," Chopra told a leading daily.
"She said this to me a couple of years ago, I remember, and it made so much sense to me because it is such a privileged position to be in when the audience or the media or the critics-reviewers actually expect something out of you. And when you don't do it, they abuse you. 'What happened to you, we expected more out of you.' It is such a good position to be in that the audience actually wants to see you in something special, always do something special," she added.
It was this conversation that helped the actor look at her filmography in a different way. "Because of that conversation, now finally when I did these kinds of films and got these kinds of reviews, she was the happiest for me. She said, 'This is what I was talking about. This is what you need to do. Don't do something substandard. Always do your best and give your best'," she said.
