Parineeti said that The Girl on the Train and Saina Nehwal's biopic 'took everything from me'.

Parineeti, who has not been seen for a while since her last film which was in 2019, talked about not being able to show her real acting talent. She said she wanted to do a film like The Girl on The Train for a long time, but couldn't because she was reluctant to pick from the roles she was offered. She commented on the type-casting issue, as once you do something successful on-screen, people think about casting her in the same kind of roles because of which she was not able to show people that she could do different off-beat roles also. Parieenti also mentioned her role preferences and the roles she wanted to stay away from, especially those roles where people expect her to follow her on-screen stereotyped image. 
 

Parineeti Chopra also shared a story on her Instagram, in which her fan recreated one of her looks in the film's poster and appreciated her effort.
