Parineeti
Chopra
made
her
acting
debut
with
a
supporting
role
in
Ranveer
Singh-Anushka
Sharma's
Ladies
vs
Ricky
Bahl
in
2011.
But
it
was
Arjun
Kapoor's
Ishaqzaade
which
catapulted
her
to
fame.
She
followed
it
with
two
successful
films-
Shuddh
Desi
Romance
and
Hasee
Toh
Phasee.
However,
her
later
films
failed
to
work
its
charm
at
the
box
office.
In
her
latest
interview
with
Filmfare
magazine,
Parineeti
opened
up
on
what
forced
her
to
go
off
track.
The
actress
said
that
she
made
a
mistake
of
paying
heed
to
some
'regressive'
advice
from
mistake,
adding
that
she
is
glad
that
she
made
mistakes
early
in
her
career
as
it
she
had
the
chance
to
bounce
back.
The
Sandeep
Aur
Pinky
Faraar
actress
was
quoted
as
saying,
"The
first
four
years
of
my
career
were
amazing
and
then
the
next
four
years
didn't
work.
So
I
said,
Okay
cool,
I
tried
this
in
my
life,
it
didn't
work,
let's
go
back
to
what
I
know.
And
the
best
thing
is
that
my
gut
is
so
strong
that
I
know
what
I'm
doing
is
wrong,
what
I'm
wearing
is
wrong
or
the
person
I'm
dating
is
wrong.
Lot
of
people
started
telling
me
you
need
to
just
be
sexy,
you
need
to
do
songs
in
films,
you
need
to
just
romance
the
hero
and
you
need
to
learn
how
to
be
a
heroine.
I
think
that
was
really
regressive
advice
coming
from
people
who
have
clearly
not
changed
with
time.
And
it
was
my
mistake
to
listen
to
them.
She
continued,
"I
am
so
glad
I
made
mistakes
early
in
my
career
because
at
least
while
I
am
still
in
my
prime,
I
have
the
chance
to
come
back."
On
being
asked
if
she
regrets
doing
some
movies
for
money,
Parineeti
replied,
"The
process
of
elimination
always
works.
So
even
with
films,
when
I
see
them
and
cringe,
I'm
glad
because
it
gives
me
clarity.
But
regret
is
not
a
part
of
my
life.
You
can't
regret,
life
is
too
short,
you'll
go
mad."
The
actress
further
added,
"I
became
complacent
and
a
little
less
focused.
That's
why
this
happened.
That's
why
I
was
saying
okay
to
mediocrity.
I
was
never
overconfident.
When
you
have
five
flop
films,
people
say
she
has
gone
mad.
But
they're
actually
just
five
bad
decisions.
I
can
proudly
tell
my
grandkids
that
you
know
what,
I
did
really
bad
work
for
four
years.
People
abused
me,
my
critics
abused
me
and
then
I
came
back,
what
a
great
story
to
tell."
Workwise,
Parineeti
Chopra
will
next
be
seen
in
Ranbir
Kapoor-starrer
Animal
and
Amitabh
Bachchan's
Uunchai.
