Parineeti Chopra
Bollywood talented actress Parineeti Chopra launched her music career with her first live singing performance in Mumbai earlier this week. While she is well-known for her acting abilities, Pari is thrilled to combine them with her love of singing. She has a special connection with the latter because the artist admits that her entire childhood was about music.
In a recent conversation, Parineeti Chopra said, “My only and biggest influence in music has been my father. My mother too but in a very different way. She used to tell me stories about when she changed my nappies, she would sing songs to me, right from ABCD, to the ‘Hills Are Alive’. She would sing Mariah Carey songs to me as well. I remember by the time I was three, my father used to do stage shows, and I would stand next to him and sing along. So I feel like my entire childhood was about music.”
She further said, “I got a degree in music just because of my parents. I know that everybody says this line, but for me, music is indeed my life. It has been my entire life. So imagine I come into an industry where music is an actual career, and for 12 years I didn’t do it, I did something else. I did films, brands, this and that, but I never got into music full-time. All my directors would often say ‘Why don’t you sing professionally’, and in my heart I was like, ‘Bas mere ko ek chance de do’,” the actress laughs, further adding, “Finally that day is here. I’m so happy.”
Parineeti Chopra admits that she often wonders why she did not start her music career sooner.“But I also feel that maybe everything has its own time. Last year I changed agencies and got married to a person who motivates me so much. He has taught me how to be fearless. He’s working in a space where you can’t have any fears. So I think all these things finally pushed me to the edge and made me do this.”
The talented actress revealed that Raghav Chadda was also constantly checking up on Parineeti on the day of her concert. She said “He was not in the city, but he was a part of it. Every minute he was with me until I went to sleep. So that gives you the kind of strength that you can only dream of. It was amazing and so respectable.”
