I chased money: Parineeti Chopra

Noted Bollywood actress Parineeti Chopra spoke about her career lull, which came after 2012's "Ishaqzaade". She admitted to having abused her position after convincing herself that her fans would accept her in 'mediocre' films.

In an interview with Filmfare, Parineeti said that she received 'regressive' advice from people who haven't changed with the times, and told her things like, "You need to just be sexy, you need to do songs in films, you need to just romance the hero and you need to learn how to be a heroine."

Parineeti admitted to 'chasing money', but said that even with her films that now make her cringe, she doesn't regret doing them. "Sometimes, I chased money. I became complacent and a little less focused. That's why this happened. That's why I was saying okay to mediocrity. I was never overconfident. When you have five flop films, people say she has gone mad. But they're actually just five bad decisions," she added.
