In an interview Parineeti has shared insights about working in Kill Dil on being stereotyped as the ‘bindaas bubbly’ girl and dating rumours.
What’s it like working with Shaad Ali in Kill Dil
I think I am in awe of Shaad. When I got the offer I was happy I was going to work with the director of Saathiya and Bunty Aur Babli. But now that I’ve got to work closely with him my love and respect for the person that he is has touched the sky. He is is a joy to work with. No matter how much the stress on the sets he’s always in a good mood. When a director is not temperamental then the actor looks forward to going to the sets every day. For us actors in Kill Dil - Ranveer Singh Govinda and me Shaad is not just a fantastic director but also a friend. When we finished shooting we partied together.
Ranveer and Shaad are very close friends. So were you the outsider in the beginning
Oh yes for sure! I already shared an equation with Ranveer. I used to manage his career when I was working for Yash Raj Films. He was also my first co-star. But I didn’t know Shaad at all. But within five minutes of meeting him the ice was broken. It’s not difficult to get along with Shaad.
He’s an introvert and you’re an extrovert
Shaad is not an introvert! He talks a lot. He is constantly joking and laughing.
So after Rani Mukerji are you the new ‘Babli’ in Shaad’s cinema
Ha ha I hope not. I am not at all the bindaas bubbly type in Shaad’s film. I am very different in Kill Dil from the way I am seen in my other films. That’s what we all from the Kill Dil team believe. So far I haven’t done anything that’s glamorous be it Shuddh Desi Romance or Hasee Toh Phasee I’ve so far pretty much played the normal working class girl.
Does slotting you as the girl next door belittle your versatility
That’s what I feel. Whenever I am asked this I’ve to spend half an hour explaining why I feel I don’t need to be slotted as the girl next door. Like when I am asked ‘Oh you excel at playing the loud Punjabi girl’. The funny thing is I’ve only played a Punjabi in my first four films. I was not Punjabi in Ishaqzaade or the subsequent films.
Then why this perception
Maybe some people think just playing loud characters makes me Punjabi. But if you think about it the girl I played in Hasee Toh Phasee was very different from the girl in Ishaqzaade. I hope Daawat-e-Ishq and Kill Dil kill that image.
You seem to have worked with all the younger actors. Now do you look forward to working with the Khans
I am doing a film with Saif (Ali Khan). I am very excited. I don’t plan too far in the future.
What about a boyfriend. One never hears of you being linked with anyone
Oh there is one link-up with Maneesh Sharma - that’s always there. That rumour never goes maybe because I spend a lot of time with him even go out with him. Over here if you are seen with the same man more than once you’re presumed to be involved with him. But the truth is that I haven’t really found a person to be in a relationship with. I am looking forward to that.
