Parineeti Chopra now eyes IIFA award

By Hindustan Times

Actress Priyanka Chopra`s younger sister Parineeti Chopra, who bagged 10 best debutante actress awards for her role in Ladies vs Ricky Bahl, is asking forward to winning an IIFA award too.

The 13th International Indian Film Academy (IIFA) awards celebration has started with the film fraternity voting for the winners.

"Like you all know, that is my first IIFA. Till now once a year I used to listen to my sister (actress Priyanka Chopra) saying that i'm going here and i'm going there. This year I GET an opportunity to move somewhere, I'M very, very excited," the 23-year-old said here on the IIFA Voting Weekend.

"No one is telling me where are we going, but I DO KNOW I'M GOING somewhere. Till now I'VE got the entire awards and i'm now looking forward to IIFA. I'M HOPING I AM GETTING that in addition after which I`ll throw an enormous party," she added.

The actress is so happy to have won such a lot of awards that she counts them every day.

"Daily I count they all in order for they're still there. Till now I'VE 10 and i'm hoping that I also get IIFA," said Parineeti.

Parineeti played Delhi girl Dimple in Ladies vs Ricky Bahl and feels happy when people identify her by her character name.

"Today less people know me as Parineeti and more call me Dimple, which I FEEL is a superb thing. Whilst you remember the name of the nature and don`t remember the true name of the actor, this can be a great point. You don`t say Shah Rukh - Kajol, you are saying Raj-Simran. So I'M very happy," said the actress.

Parineeti`s next is Yash Raj`s Ishaqzaade, during which she is paired with Boney Kapoor`s son Arjun.
