Realised who I was as an actor while doing the first shot of 'The Girl on the Train': Parineeti Chopra

Parineeti Chopra will be seen in a thriller film for the first time in Ribhu Dasgupta's upcoming directorial, The Girl on the Train. The film is the Hindi remake of Hollywood flick of the same name which starred Emily Blunt in the leading role. Now, during a video interview with a magazine, Parineeti spoke at length about her role and the whole film altogether. The actor has been shooting for the film in London.

Parineeti stated, "You probably won't believe me. But I finally learnt who I am as an actress eight months ago while shooting for The Girl On The Train. What I used to do earlier was sign films without thinking and realizing where I want it to go. There was no planning as such, which I believe is a failure on my part. I wish I was better equipped to enter the industry. But I realised who I was as an actress while doing the first shot of The Girl On The Train. The day before that I was a different person."

Sharing about her work experience with Ribhu, Chopra said, "I am an academic person. I am used to the teacher-student relationship. You give me instructions and I will do anything nicely. Ribhu became my teacher and mentor. Suddenly, I was only focused on the film and wouldn't waste a single minute. For two months I forgot my family, friends and barely called anyone. This film changed my DNA."

The Girl on the Train also stars Kirti Kulhari in a pivotal role.
