Meera Chopra says she didn't get Priyanka and Parineeti's help in Bollywood
The Safed actress was talking to Siddharth Kanan when she acknowledged why she was missing from all conversations with the Chopra sisters.?
"From the start, there was not much closeness between us that we would look like friends here. That would be fake. But I can say that when three or four girls join the industry, they help each other. That did not happen to me. I never asked for help and the help never came from them. I am not the one that asks for help and even they never offered any help."
Our families are not close
"When families don¡¯t talk, I don¡¯t want to cross that line which would hurt my family. Parineeti ke saath kabhi family waali baat hi nahi thi. Priyanka ki family se main aaj bhi bohot close hoon..."
Sisterhood is missing?
"Priyanka has always been very generous, but ek jo sisterhood hota hein na... woh missing hai. Aur woh meri taraf se missing nahi hai. I have always extended that branch of love, but woh reciprocate bhi toh hona chahiye," she said.
In another interview with India Today, she said that she didn't want to take help from Priyanka and Parineeti either. "No one was picking up the phone to say this is my sister, give her work. That did not happen and I never wanted that either. I never wanted to play the family card and get work through that," she was quoted as saying.
Meera Chopra has featured in?Tamil and Telugu movies like Anbe Aaruyire, Bangaram, Jambhavan, Lee, Marudhamalai, Vaana and Greeku Veerudu among others. In Bollywood, she has worked in Gang of Ghosts, Section 375, 1920 London and Safed, which set to be released on December 29.
