What Priyanka Chopra hasn’t managed to achieve in nearly a decade, her cousin sister has pulled off in her very first film. Parineeti Chopra, who debuts in Ladies vs Ricky Bahl, seems to have become a favourite with YRF, and has already signed on a second film, Ishqzaade, with the banner.
But her sister’s debut did give Priyanka a chance to stake her own claim as well. So despite running high fever, she made it a point to attend a special screening of the film. “PC has been wanting to work with YRF for a long time. But after Pyaar Impossible’s debacle, she hasn’t received any offers from them. While Rani, Katrina and Anushka have already made their mark, Priyanka hasn’t been as lucky. She has been sending feelers to the Chopras but to no avail,” says a source.
But the official line is that it was all sisterly love. “It was a special moment for Priyanka. She was watching her little sister on the big screen for the first time ever. Despite being down with viral fever, Priyanka made it bang on time,” says the official spokesperson of YRF.
