if I had a nickel for everytime diljit dosanjh played the role of a singer who had an untimely death along with the tragic death of his one true love, i'd have two nickels which isn't a lot but it's weird that it happened twice.

did I mention that the amar singh chamkila soundtrack has taken over my life

[patanahikyun]

Jhooth bhala kyun bologe tum,

Sab sach Kehte ho

Meri nahi hai duniya jismein

Tum sab rehte ho

Saath tumhare aur Rahun main,

Mera toh mann tha

Sach hai , Yahaan pe jo bhi bura tha,

Mere kaaran tha...

Mainu vida karo

Mainu vida karo ji

Ab vida karo , mere yaar..

Parineeti Chopra Opens Up About Bollywood's Social Dynamics: "Not Attending Parties Cost Me Jobs"

Parineeti Chopra, lauded for her role in "Amar Singh Chamkila," sheds light on the industry's lobbying culture.

Parineeti Chopra's portrayal of Amarjot Kaur in "Amar Singh Chamkila" has earned her accolades after nearly a decade of waiting for such an opportunity. In a recent interview, she candidly discussed the challenges she faced in landing the right projects and roles, attributing it partly to her absence from Bollywood's social circles where work opportunities often emerge.

"I don’t go to dinners and lunches or attend parties where work opportunities are created in Bollywood or those roles are discussed. I want directors and producers to call me for my work because I am willing to work hard," she shared with Bollywood Hungama. Despite winning a National Award for "Ishaqzaade" a decade ago, she feels her career trajectory hasn't aligned with her potential.

Following the positive reception of "Amar Singh Chamkila" on Netflix, Parineeti expressed her gratitude on Instagram, acknowledging her return to the spotlight. However, she acknowledged the prevailing system of lobbying in Bollywood, where social connections often dictate opportunities. "Getting work in Bollywood doesn’t only depend on merit or acting, you have to be in cliques and camps to get roles," she lamented.

Parineeti's reflections shed light on the plight of talented artists who may not conform to industry norms. "I want to be the voice for actors who aren’t parts of cliques and camps. I hope we break this system of lobbying in Bollywood because I want equal opportunities and work," she emphasized.

The actor's commitment to her craft is evident, as she underwent a physical transformation for her role in "Amar Singh Chamkila," sacrificing other projects and public appearances in the process. Despite her versatile performances in films like "Ishaqzaade," "Sandeep Aur Pinky Faraar," and "The Girl on The Train," Parineeti feels her talent hasn't been fully recognized.

However, she finds solace in directors like Dibakar Banerjee and Imtiaz Ali, who prioritize talent over market value. "Dibakar Banerjee and Imtiaz sir are similar. They’re not seen everywhere, every day. They cast me for my work and saw the actor in me," she acknowledged, highlighting the importance of merit-based casting in an industry often driven by social connections.

In the era of remakes, this soothes me, Only Irshad Kamil, A.R Rehman sir and Arijit could deliver this. Masterpeice
