Parineeti Chopra is an Indian actress and singer who works predominantly in the Hindi film industry. She made her Bollywood debut in 2011 in movie Ladies vs Ricky Bahl which starred actors Ranveer Singh and Anushka Sharma in lead roles. Parineeti won a number of awards for her role including the Filmfare Award for Best Female Debut.
It seems acting was not on her mind as she had initially aspired to pursue a career in investment banking after obtaining a triple honours degree in business, finance, and economics from Manchester Business School. Upon her return to India, which was during the 2009 economic recession, she joined Yash Raj Films as a public relations consultant.

After her 2011 debut, Parineeti went on to star in a number of movies like, Ishaqzaade (2012), Shuddh Desi Romance (2013), Hasee Toh Phasee (2014), Daawat-e-Ishq (2014), Kill Dil (2014), Dishoom (Cameo-2016), Meri Pyaari Bindu (2017 - also playback singer for song Maana Ke Hum Yaar Nahin), Golmaal Again (2017), Namaste England (2018), Kesari (2019), and Jabariya Jodi (2019).
