Essence of what I was saying, completely lost: Parineeti

TIL Desk Bollywood/ Actress Parineeti Chopra says her statement about her family not having enough money during her childhood has been misconstrued due to which the essence of what she was trying to convey got lost.

During an event with actor Akshay Kumar on May 21, Parineeti shared her childhood struggles saying that her family was poor and could not afford a car for her to go to the school. Thus, she used to ride a cycle to school every day and became a victim of eve-teasing.

However, Parineeti’s statement was slammed on social media by a few of her “schoolmates” who claimed that the actress was “lying”. “Hi everyone. I think what I said at a martial arts event a few days ago has been misconstrued in some places, so I would like to take a moment and clarify what I meant,” Parineeti tweeted on Tuesday.
