Actor Meera Chopra, who made her Bollywood debut with 1920 London, was recently seen in the Sandeep Singh directorial titled Safed. Meera, who happens to the cousin of actors Priyanka Chopra and Parineeti Chopra, recently revealed that despite their familial connection, they do not share a ‘sisterhood’ bond. She opened up about the lack of support from them when she entered the entertainment industry.
In an interview with Siddharth Kannan, Meera said, “From the start, there was not much closeness between us, that we would look like friends here. That would be fake. But I can say that when three or four girls join the industry, they help each other. That did not happen to me. I never asked for help and the help never came from them. I am not the one that asks for help and even they never offered any help.” (Sic)
Meera recalled her childhood days and said that they were a very grand joint family and said that they have all lived in the same house for days. However, she added, “Jab koi bohot bada hojata hai toh baaki log chote lagte hai. (When someone becomes too successful, others don’t seem too important.)”
Meera shared that has a great relationship with Priyanka’s family and she even attended her wedding with Nick Jonas but with Parineeti, she doesn’t share the same bond as their families haven’t been on speaking terms for “ages.” She also did not attend Parineeti-Raghav’s wedding. “When families don’t talk, I don’t want to cross that which will hurt my family,” she said and added, “I am still very close to Priyanka’s family. I am trying to do a screening for Madhu chachi, because I really want to show her the film. They all wish very well for me. Priyanka has always been very generous, but the sisterhood is missing. But it is not missing from my side. She is a girl with golden heart.” (Sic)
Mannara Chopra, who is also Parineeti and Priyanka’s cousin, is currently on Bigg Boss 17.
