The 3rd cousin of Priyanka and Parineeti Chopra
Apart from Priyanka and Parineeti, Meera Chopra is another member of the Chopra family to venture into movies. Meera "Nila" Chopra is an actor and model who is a famous face in Tamil, Telugu and Hindi film industries. Her Kollywood debut was with the 2005 film Anbe Aaruyire, in which she featured along with S. J. Surya. The film was loved by many and she got instant recognition in the south film industry. Her second film was a Telugu-language film with actor Pawan Kalyan, which was M. S. Raju's Vaana.
Reportedly, she left the south film industry when she was at the peak of her career. Much later, she made her Bollywood debut in Vikram Bhatt's 1920: London along with Sharman Joshi. She has also worked in films like Gang of Ghosts, Nastik, and Section 375. Parineeti and Priyanka seem to be very close to each other and Meera and Priyanka also share a strong bond. On the other hand, it seems like Meera and Parineeti are not connected enough.
Once in an interview, Meera revealed that she was close to Priyanka, but not to her other cousin Parineeti. Meera Chopra, who has worked in several South films, has always wanted to be a part of Bollywood but there were reports of sibling rivalry between the Chopra sisters. Parineeti, in an interview, had even said that Meera was not her family, but a distant relative.
