Parineeti Chopra says rivalry between actresses is industry-created

Parineeti Chopra said competition between female actors within Bollywood is created by the industry only.

Talking about her experience of working with fellow actresses, Chopra told Zoom TV, Chopra said, "This thing of women, actresses especially, not really getting along and being insecure is mostly industry-created and trade-created. I have had amazing experiences. Ladies Vs Ricky Bahl had four girls, Shuddh Desi Romance had two girls, Golmaal Again had me and Tabu ma’am."

The Girl on the Train starlet went on, “I have worked in various places where so many women and ‘heroines’ were cast together. The discussion was always like, ‘Oh, do ladkiyaan (two girls)?’ I am like, ‘Yeah but also teen ladke (three boys). Why don’t we talk about the boys?’ Competition is between artists, it is not male or female."

Chopra also spilled the beans on how she felt when people compared her to American actress Emily Blunt, who essayed the same character in the Hollywood movie, Chopra said, "I didn’t approach The Girl on the Train with the apprehension of being compared to Emily Blunt. She is a towering actress and I knew that since I was doing the official Indian remake, comparisons were bound to happen.”
