Parineeti Chopra Reveals Why She Chose ‘Chamkila’ Over ₹900 Crore Blockbuster ‘Animal’

Bollywood actress Parineeti Chopra, who rose to fame after her debut in 2012, recently appeared on the popular TV show Aap Ki Adalat alongside her husband, AAP leader and Member of Parliament Raghav Chadha.

During the candid interview, Parineeti Chopra opened up about her journey in Bollywood, her love story, and a pivotal career decision that unexpectedly changed her life.

Parineeti Chopra’s Career Decision That Changed Everything

Parineeti disclosed that she was originally offered the role played by Rashmika Mandanna in Sandeep Reddy Vanga’s Animal.

This highly anticipated movie, starring Ranbir Kapoor, went on to gross an impressive ₹900 crores globally.

However, Parineeti chose to step away from the project due to a scheduling conflict with Imtiaz Ali’s Chamkila, a musical biopic she was filming in Punjab.

Reflecting on her decision, Parineeti said, “I had to choose between Animal and Chamkila. While Animal became a massive success, I have no regrets. Choosing Chamkila not only resonated with me creatively but also led me to meet Raghav, the love of my life.”

Love Amidst the Lights

During Chamkila’s hectic shooting schedule, Parineeti and Raghav found moments to nurture their budding relationship.

The connection deepened, ultimately culminating in their marriage. “It’s funny how life works. Turning down a movie wasn’t a loss—it was destiny leading me to Raghav,” she added with a smile.

Parineeti’s heartfelt revelation left fans inspired, proving that life’s unexpected turns often lead to the most beautiful destinations.
