Her most favourite thing in the world is…..

Pizza is the way of living life. Pizza is life. There's no life without pizza. I can say all versions of this sentence but basically, pizza is the most favourite thing of mine in the world!

The one actor Pari is obsessed with

I used to collect these chips packets on which Saif had a picture and I was obsessed with him. And every time I meet him and even when I've met Bebo, I only talk about how I'm obsessed with Saif. I used to neatly stack them up and lock them in my steel cupboard I remember we used to have. And till today, those packets are very much there!

Pari calls Arjun Kapoor arrogant and wants him to call her ma’am!

Parineeti Chopra’s best day was when she was Rani Mukherjee’s PA!

I was her PA just for one day. It was the best day of my life! Because she was my favourite and she was going to my favourite reality show Bigg Boss and in fact, I got to spent 1.5 hours driving to Khandala with her. And in fact, she told me that you know, you have it in you to become an actress. You should become an actress. I was like wow, Rani Mukherjee, my idol is saying this to me.

Parineeti’s rendezvous with alcohol!

It was the end of Dream Team and Alia and Aditya and Varun and me, everybody was partying. Sid and Katrina had already left. So four of us we went to this club and everybody was like today Pari has to drink and I'm like no guys, I don't drink alcohol so it's not going to happen. This is like 10 months ago. They were like no, no, you have to drink. A couple of my other friends and Alia and Aditya and everybody they all said okay, we're all going to do Jager bombs and they made one jäger bomb for me and I said okay cool I'll have it. I hate the taste of it, I hate the smell but I'll do it and I had it and 15 mins later they were like - anything?! I was like no, nothing, I'm fine. Like, see, there's no point of alcohol in life and lalala. And they were like you gotta do another one and they gave me a second one. Neha, I have danced till 6am the next day, I have gone down to the lobby and hugged everyone, I've given so much love and the next day I've woken up like WOW, that was so much fun! I want to do this again. And there started my alcohol lifestyle.

Pari confesses to being jealous of Ayushmann Khurana

When I met Ayushmann for the first time, I was very jealous that he had already sung a song. It wasn't like I was ready to record but I was like why are others singing, I should be the one singing! I've trained in music and I've sung all my life and I always thought it would be something I would do on the side. And it happened really late but I'm really glad the way it happened.

Sania Mirza wants Parineeti to play her because they're both "blessed in the chest"

You know that’s how we became friends because she in some interview said ‘I would like Parineeti to play me in my biopic’ and I remember she was playing the US Open and she called me from there in the middle of the night at 2-3'o clock in the morning. She called me and said 'Hi this is Sania Mirza, she said 'I just wanna say that you know I have given an interview yesterday and it’s all over the country and its all on front pages and I felt it was my responsibility to tell you, why it all happened’ and I said ya but that’s really sweet of you like to say that.

When she confessed to chasing guys and not the other way around

I'm not a person who dates. I'm the kind of person who gets into something long term. It's usually me chasing the guy, you know. I've gotten into two long term relationships. It's always been with the intent to marry the guy and they have not worked out, obviously. I don't have one-night stands, I don't have flings, I don't date.

Did you know Parineeti has a long list of credentials

When I was in school, I was the head girl. That was probably one of my first big achievements. I was always representing my school at State and National at debates, declamations and speeches. I was always on stage doing dramatics. Then class 13 I topped in economics. I topped India. I got an award by the President because I had 97%. I was the only Indian chosen for my course in Manchester Business School, all over the world. And I did a Triple Honours degree in International Business - Finance and Economics. Then I came back to india and I was working on YRF and then I did my first film as an actor where I won 17 awards. My second film I got a National Award mention. This year I released my first single. I'm also a BA Honours in music and I'm also a certified scuba diver!

When her dad beat up guys with hockey sticks

You know I come from a city called Ambala. Ambala is that city where anything can happen and purely because of safety, my dad used to carry a hockey stick in his hand. I must tell you that it has been used many times! Guys in Ambala are those Dil Khol, Dil Phenkh boys who will say anything they want and sometimes it borderlines on eve teasing and obviously to my army dad that's absolutely unacceptable so whenever I would come home and say - that boy did this, that boy said that he would get out of the house there and then with the hockey stick and beat him up and come back.

Parineeti used to work at Manchester United and wasn't star struck ever!

For all those who don't know, I used to work in Manchester United, in the stadium, at Old Trafford for three years. It was a part time job and I used to lead the catering team. But I must tell you - till today I have no interest in football. I never had a fan moment.
