Priyanka was totally American when she returned from USA: Parineeti Chopra

April 20, 2017

Mumbai, Apr 20: Parineeti Chopra reveals in her teenage days her sister, Bollywood star Priyanka Chopra, used to teach her English songs.

"We did not play Antakshari as she (Priyanka) went to the US for studies.

"...When she came back from the US at the age of 16 she was totally American as she had an accent and she used to teach us English songs. She was cool and amazing. She was the first person to message me after the song," Parineeti told reporters here at an event.

Parineeti is the latest celebrity making her singing debut in Bollywood with 'Maana Ke Hum Yaar Nahi' from her upcoming film 'Meri Pyaari Bindu'. The actress said her father is her inspiration.

"My dad is my idol and inspiration when it comes to singing. He still sits with a harmonium and does 'riyaz', he sings everywhere he can.

"He cried when he heard me and my brother sing. I have released my song for him. I feel he wanted to see my musical dream come true. I dedicate all my songs to him. I want to be better and better singer just for him," she adds.

Singing may be her first love, but the actress, said acting will always be her main focus.

"My intense passion is to be the best actor I can be. I want to sing as much as I can as that's my first love, I want to dance my best and want to do the best and do biggest variety of films and that's my only endeavour."

Directed by Akshay Roy, 'Meri Pyaari Bindu', will hit the theaters on May 12.

The police said she posted a cryptic WhatsApp status before her death, which read, "Do naav me savaar thi uski zindagi, humne apni naav duba ke uska safar aasaan kar diya" (His/her life was sailing on two boats, we made the journey easy by sinking one). The cops have not recovered any suicide note. She is survived by her husband.

Amrita's family said she worried about her career as she was not getting enough work and was suffering from depression. The family said she was undergoing treatment for depression.

The actor lived in Mumbai with her husband, Chandramani Jhangad, an animation engineer. She went to Bhagalpur to attend her sister's wedding on April 18. Her husband returned home after the wedding but Amrita chose to stay back.

The actor has been alongside Bhojpuri star Khesari Lal Yadav in 'Deewanapan'. She also acted in Hindi movies, TV shows and web series. She is also known for her role in the web series 'Parishodh'.
