Lately, Parineeti Chopra involved in a controversy when she
was part of an event with Akshay Kumar. At the event, she shared her childhood
struggles telling that her family was poor and could not afford a car for her
to go to the school. Thus, she is used to ride a cycle to school every day and
became a victim of eve-teasing.
Parineeti told, "I am so touched after coming here as I
am thinking about my life. I am from a very small city, Ambala. I had two
brothers growing up and we had a lot of difficulties. We didn't have any money,
so I used to travel by cycle, to school. We did not have a car or even money
for the bus. I used to fight with my mom and dad saying why do I have to cycle
to school every day. I did not have the money to join a martial arts class
during the time. I am so happy for you that you got this opportunity. Thank
yourselves that you are graduating from such an institute. Make use of this
knowledge and go kick some ass."
But, a former classmate of Parineeti from her school slammed
the actor by telling that her story is a lie. He posted on his Facebook telling,
"Parineeti Chopra Shame...coming from a privileged background and lying
through the teeth in front of the camera. I guess this is what being a
celebrity means. Create a fabricated sob story of no money no car etc etc
(sic)"
He also told, "Coming from the same school I probably
also remember the car her father used to have. And going to school on a cycle
was a trend those days and also a privilege not everyone had. My friends from
CJM (Convent of Jesus and Mary) would probably understand the lies a bit better
(sic)."
Now, Parineeti Chopra posted a clarification on Twitter.
