Neha Dhupia’s chat show BFFs with Vogue usually leads to spilling of some secrets but this time, Parineeti Chopra who attended the show with her BFF Sania Mirza, revealed something which we never knew of! The Ishaqzaade actor said that Shoojit Sircar had first offered Piku to her. The film, then starred Deepika Padukone in the role along with Amitabh Bachchan and Irrfan Khan. It went on become one of the most acclaimed films of the year and Deepika even won the Filmfare award for her effortless performance in it.

Regretting not being able to do the film, Parineeti clarified, “I didn’t really turn down the film, there was a confusion. I was going to do another film at the same time and then that film also didn’t happen, so it was my loss.” Though we absolutely loved Deepika in Piku, it would be nice to know how Parineeti would have portrayed the role.

Earlier in the day, Parineeti had shared a picture of her on Instagram, which showed her preparing for her role in the Saina Nehwal biopic. She is seeing dressed in proper attire and practicing the game. The shoot for the film starts in October.

“Before ........ and After! @nehwalsaina HOW DO YOU DO THIS!😱😱 #SainaNehwalBiopic #Training # ShootStartsInOctober,” she captioned the post and Saina Nehwal commented, saying, “ Looking forward champ.”

Parineeti has a number of projects lined up with the Saina Nehwal biopic, Jabariya Jodi opposite Siddharth Malhotra and Sandeep Aur Pinky Faraar with Arjun Kapoor.
