Parineeti Chopra believes that criticism, judgment, and scrutiny are a part of an actor's everyday life adding that actors are an amazing mix of being very thick-skinned and very soft and emotional inside.
Parineeti is currently gearing up for the release of her upcoming film 'The Girl On The Train', a remake of the Hollywood film starring Emily Blunt and is based on the book having the same name.
Talking about possible comparisons leading to criticism, Parineeti told IANS, "I think criticism, judgment, and scrutiny are a part of actors' everyday lives. I think the amount of rejection an actor goes through, nobody goes through in their lives. We are rejected for an outfit that we wear or a photo might click. We are rejected for who we might date, we are rejected for a film we do, and at the auditions."
Parineeti further added, "Actors are an amazing mix of being very thick-skinned but being soft and emotional inside, and that is why this job has an edge over so many other jobs."
In the film, Parineeti will be seen playing Meera Kapoor, an alcoholic widow who gets embroiled in a murder investigation.
Parineeti emphasised the fact that she is not worried about comparisons with Emily Blunt. She said, "We honestly are excited because we have a very good reference point. The film was received well, the book was of course a huge hit. We are positive that we are riding on a good train. We just hope that that film and book was appreciated and we are appreciated also."
'The Girl On The Train' releases on Netflix on February 26. It also stars Aditi Rao Hydari, Avinash Tiwari, and Kirti Kulhari in pivotal roles.
