Furthermore, Parineeti touched upon the broader issue of favoritism in Bollywood. She stressed that although initial opportunities might come more easily to those with connections, sustaining success requires personal effort. "Every person who has had some association in the industry is actually under a lot of pressure. You might get your first chance, first audition, first meeting, but after that, you're on your own and it’s more difficult to prove yourself," she explained.

Adding to her narrative of resilience and determination, Parineeti recently delivered a standout performance in the film 'Amar Singh Chamkila.' The movie is a musical biopic based on the life of the late Punjabi singer Amar Singh Chamkila.
