Parineeti Chopra opens up about Deepika Padukone, Alia Bhatt, and Priyanka Chopra’s career choices after embracing motherhood.
In an exclusive conversation at the trailer launch of the psychological thriller Shaque: Trust No One, the Ishaqzaade actress spoke at length about how motherhood has never altered the opportunities coming her way.
She said, “I don’t think I’ve had a single conversation with a maker, director or writer who has mentioned motherhood to me. I don’t remember anybody saying, ‘Now that you’re a mom, this is what we’re offering you,’ and that lack of association is the win.”
In addition, Parineeti said she doesn’t believe in the fact that motherhood changes the scope of roles being offered to her or any other actress, for that matter.
“I would hate to stop working just because I became a mom. It’s a two-way relationship. I’ve to be offered work, and I would be sad to lose work because I’ve done such a beautiful thing in producing a baby,” she added.
The The Girl on the Train star also couldn’t help but praise Alia, Deepika, and Priyanka for setting an example in the industry as mothers who are landing exemplary roles.
“I’m so glad that our generation, including Alia (Bhatt), me, Deepika (Padukone), my own sister (Priyanka Chopra), who is working in the West, and all of us are able to be mothers and we are doing the same quality of work. In fact, I think we are doing better work now.”
For the unversed, Shaque: Trust No One is slated for release on September 24, 2026.
