Mannara Chopra talks about cousins Priyanka Chopra-Parineeti

During the candid conversation, Mannara revealed the reason why she didn’t mention her cousins on the show and said, “When people started talking about it toh honestly mere mann mein ek hich aata tha ki why are you talking about my family and everything. Because if I’ve been invited by the Bigg Boss platform, it is primarily because they like my personality and they wanted me to be there as Mannara. So, you talk about me. You talk about my films, my journey, mere se lado, mere se baatein karo, mujhse gappe maaro.”

The actress added, “Don’t involve my family because everybody has their own space in life and they are also married, they have their own family. So, don’t involve them. I feel it looks kind of a show-off ke aap apne aap ko kisi tarah portray kar rahe ho. I feel jitney celebrities’ aaye hai and our host Salman Khan sir who represents our country on international platform, aaj woh log jitna mujhe jaante hai, and they know me by my personality. So, agar har line mein kisi aur ka naam lungi toh accha nahi lagta. That was my only reason.”

During the conversation, Mannara also revealed how her sister Priyanka played a big role in her journey. The actress said, “She got me a photoshoot with Avinash Gowariker at that point of time and maine toh woh bas pictures li, pata nahi woh kaise circulate ho gayi, woh aise hi generally karaya tha, you know you need a photo. And wahan se mujhe calls aane lage auditions ke.”

She added, “I started doing a lot of ads. So, I shot with Salman sir at that point of time for a commercial. I have shot with Imtiaz Ali sir at Lucknow, and I shot with Habib Faizal sir. So, me and Priyanka did three commercials together. It was a wonderful feeling. Then I was the face of Gaana.com, bajna chahiye gaana, ab woh release hui jab meri film Zid release huyi thi.”

Mannara went on to add that she is enjoying her fans’ love.
