Parineeti
Chopra
Breaks
Silence
"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.
Here’s
What
She
Said:
She
said
when
she
was
studying
in
Ambala,
she
and
her
brothers
didn't
have
access
to
a
car
and
driver
to
take
them
to
school.
So,
the
boys
took
the
bus
and
she
rode
a
bicycle.
‘My
Dad
Did
Have
A
Car’
"My
dad
did
have
a
car
that
he
used
for
his
office
work
but
we
kids
did
not
use
it
for
school
travel.
As
a
child,
I
hated
going
on
a
cycle,
but
today
I
understand
that
he
was
doing
it
to
make
me
independent
and
keep
me
safe."
Parineeti
Feels
The
Entire
Episode
Got
‘Misconstrued’
She
said
somehow
the
entire
episode
got
‘misconstrued',
about
something
very
irrelevant
about
me
having
a
car
or
not."
"I
was
talking
about
using
a
car
and
driver
to
go
to
school
that's
all.
The
essence
of
what
and
why
I
was
giving
that
example
was
completely
lost."
Parineeti
On
Girls
Becoming
Stronger
These
Days..
"I
am
proud
to
be
present
at
a
time
that
girls
are
becoming
stronger
with
training
in
martial
arts.
If
I
had
had
such
an
opportunity
back
then,
I
know
I
would
have
felt
much
more
confident."
Here’s
Why
She
Responded
A
Little
Late..
Parineeti
also
said
that
she
chose
to
respond
a
little
late
as
she
was
out
of
India.
"I
would
request
everyone
concerned
to
please
not
let
menial
things
like
this
take
precedence
over
what
I
was
actually
trying
to
say,
about
women's
safety
and
the
challenges
that
we
girls
face
while
growing
up,"
she
said.
Here’s
How
This
Controversy
Started..
After
the
event
took
place,
a
former
classmate
of
Parineeti
from
her
school
slammed
the
actor
by
saying
that
her
story
is
a
lie.
He
posted
on
his
Facebook
account:
"Parineeti
Chopra
shame...coming
from
a
privileged
background
and
lying
through
the
teeth
in
front
of
the
camera.
I
guess
this
is
what
being
a
celebrity
means.
Create
a
fabricated
sob
story
of
no
money
no
car.
