Parineeti Chopra On Media Reporting On Her: "Will Clarify In Case Somebody's Gotten Anything Wrong"

"If I were nobody or they were not interested in me, that would probably mean that I did not achieve what I tried to achieve as an actor," the actor said.

Parineeti Chopra, in a recent interview, opened up about dealing with the media spotlight and how she set boundaries for her personal and professional lives. As per Parineeti, the road to success for an actor comes with a desire to “reach every single living room” in their country and that's why, she doesn't have issues with her life “out there for the world to see and read.” However, Parineeti said that “there is a thin line between (media) discussing (her) life and sometimes crossing the line into being too personal or disrespectful.” The actress, talking to Lifestyle Asia magazine, said that “recognition, love, and acceptance” are the only factors actors consider while measuring their growth.

Parineeti Chopra, when asked about what part of her personal life she keeps away from media attention, said, "Honestly, that's a very difficult question to answer because everything about you is out there for the world to see and read, and the media is the outlet for that. We work very hard for ourselves, our faces, and our names to reach every single living room in this country. We work our hardest. So, when there is recognition, love, and acceptance, I only see it as success. And I always view it positively.”

“If I were nobody or they were not interested in me, that would probably mean that I did not achieve what I tried to achieve as an actor because a successful actor will be famous, will be a part of everybody's homes, a part of living room conversation, a part of the news, a part of the news channels, a part of digital media, a part of the paparazzi culture, and everything. That would mean that I'm truly in every single person's home, you know? How to bifurcate what goes out and what doesn't go out? I don't think about that. I think my life is there for the world,” added the actress. 

Parineeti Chopra continued that if any time the media crosses the line, she would just “clarify” the facts. “However, there is a thin line between them discussing my life and sometimes crossing the line into being too personal or disrespectful. If that ever happens, I will just clarify in case somebody's gotten anything wrong. So, I mean, if the world was not interested, I would have considered myself unsuccessful. If the world is interested, that means I've done something right in my career. So that's how I see it. I'm sure every actress sees it differently,” said the actress.
