‘I never got work because of Priyanka Chopra’

Actress Meera Chopra made quite a few waves with Powerstar Pawan Kalyan’s Bangaram, Vaana, and a few films in other South languages. She still manages to garner a huge fan base as she sizzles with her regular social media updates. Her intriguing pictures make her followers happy though the actress is no longer active with her film career.

Meera is the cousin of global icon Priyanka Chopra and speaking of it, the former said that being PeeCee’s cousin never helped her. Meera could not survive both in Bollywood and Tollywood industries and she revealed that she “never got any work because of Priyanka Chopra”.

“When I entered Bollywood there was a buzz that Priyanka Chopra’s sister is also making her debut. But honestly, I have not faced many comparisons. I have not got any work because of Priyanka. If I needed a producer, they have not cast me as I am her sister. Honestly, being related to her has not helped me in my career but it has really helped me in a way that people did take me seriously,” Meera Chopra told.

“They did not take me for granted as they knew was coming from a family who knew cinema. That is the only privilege I got. Otherwise, I had to struggle. Honestly, with my work like every time my movie used to leave, fortunately, I have not been compared to both of them,” she added.

While Meera struggled to grab the spot amidst going missing from the mainstream movies, her cousin Priyanka Chopra’s journey from a Desi girl to Hollywood’s notable faces remained an inspiration to many. Not only Meera Chopra, but we also have Parineeti Chopra and Mannara Chopra coming from Priyanka’s family.
