Bollywood young gun Parineeti Chopra has found herself in trouble over her recent statements made during a self-defense awareness for women in Mumbai. It so happened that Parineeti, who was narrating her childhood ordeal of how she faced eve-teasing while cycling her way to school has been caught in hard waters.

 

 

Parineeti said that in her early childhood days at Ambala, she reportedly talked about how she never had the luxury of going to school by car and they were not so well-off to afford that, so she used to cycle her way. She even narrated an incident when how once boys pulled up her skirt and she was eve-teased.

 

Parineeti even mentioned that her father used to follow her from behind as she used to cycle alone.

 
 

However, soon afterwards one of her school mates took to Facebook and slammed Pari for faking her sob story. A person named Kkanoo Gupta wrote: "Parineeti Chopra Shame........ coming from a privileged background and lying through the teeth in front of camera. I guess this is what being a celebrity means. Create a fabricated sob story of no money no car etc 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 every one had. My friends from CJM would probably understand the lies a bit better. "

 

And now, the actress has clarified her stand. She said that she has been misconstrued and wrote a full-length post on Twitter. Check it out here:
