Parineeti Chopra: The biggest myth people have about actors is that they throw tantrums

Parineeti Chopra has an interesting line up of movies this year. Parineeti Chopra is currently prepping up for her upcoming film Sandeep aur Pinky Faraar and Namastey England. The actress is paired opposite Arjun Kapoor in both the films. Simultaneously, Parineeti will also be shooting for Akshay Kumar starrer Kesari.

Talking about the advantages and disadvantages of being an actor, Parineeti said to a leading Indian daily, “The biggest myth people have about actors is that they throw tantrums. People think actors are difficult (to handle) and have an attitude problem. Actually, that is not the case. Actors are humble pies. They have to put themselves out there and the public scrutinizes them. We have to be that much careful about everything we do. Our lives are demanding and not the same as a commoner’s life. For instance, if you do something at a party and come up to me, and ask me to do that same thing on stage; I can’t do it because there are lakhs of people watching me. But when I refuse, people say I have an attitude problem.”


Parineeti further added about how actors are misunderstood and judged in comparison to common people. “People assume things about every actor. When I say no to something, it’s misunderstood as me being difficult. But I am putting myself out there every day, for everything. And I wish that there was a way to make people understand, but unfortunately till you don’t act in films, you will not understand that,” Parineeti said.
