When asked what was she upto before the lockdown and the shootings going into a hibernation mode she said “We had just started the promotions of ‘Sandeep Aur Pinky Faraar’, and I remember calling my marketing team and telling them, ‘Guys, this (COVID-19) seems to be spreading, we should not be stepping out for promotions, as we will be interacting with so many people.’ At that point, it felt like a drastic step, but the next day, we cancelled all our plans. I saw this coming, but I didn’t realise the magnitude of it. The actress told Bombay Times.
When asked about her break when she was going through a rough period professionally and personally around year 2020 and how did she battle against depression and what she took out of it. The Golmaal 4 actress replied, “Well, at the risk of sounding like a sadist, let me tell you that when something really bad or challenging happens in my life, I get a little excited. I tell myself that I’ve gone through it and come out of it feeling proud of the person that I have become. Now, I actually believe every quote that I’ve read online, which says that failure teaches you a lot more than success. I didn’t believe it till it happened in my life. I hit rock bottom in every department of my life, and I actually thought that I would not survive it. But then, you fight every battle and come out stronger. In fact, if you haven’t gone through ups and downs, you have had a very boring life.
Parineeti further added, “I am not wishing tragedies upon anyone, but I truly believe that when you go through a setback, you appreciate life so much more. I feel that I grew up during the low phase of my life. And I definitely think that today, anything that I do, is a result of what I learned during that period.”
