Did Parineeti Chopra just fake her family history?

Recently, Parineeti Chopra was at the graduation ceremony of a women’s self-defense academy, which was helmed by Khiladi Akshay Kumar. On the occasion, Parineeti opened up about the kinds of struggles she had to go through as a teen during her school days. She spoke about the financial hardships that her family had to face back in the day and the manner in which she used to be eve-teased by boys.

Here’s what she had to say “I am so touched after coming here as I am thinking about my life. I am from a very small city, Ambala. I had two brothers growing up and we had a lot of difficulties. We didn’t have any money, so I used to travel by cycle, to school. We did not have a car or even money for the bus. I used to fight with my mom and dad saying why do I have to cycle to school every day. I did not have the money to join a martial arts class during the time. I am so happy for you that you got this opportunity. Thank yourselves that you are graduating from such an institute. Make use of this knowledge and go kick some ass.”

Isn’t this such a sad story? Well, her school friends beg to differ on what she has said

A school mate of the actor recently posted on Facebook “Parineeti Chopra Shame…….. coming from a privileged background and lying through the teeth in front of the camera. I guess this is what being a celebrity means. Create a fabricated sob story of no money no car etc. Coming from the same school I probably also remember the car her father used to have. And going to school on a cycle was a trend those days and also a privilege not everyone had. My friends from CJM would probably understand the lies a bit better. SIC. ”

It would be interesting to see what Parineeti has to say, don’t you think?
