Parineeti moved to England when she was 17 and came back to India in 2009. Manchester Business School has awarded the actress a triple honours degree in business, finance, and economics. Now, the actress has been named an Outstanding Achiever in the category of 'Arts, Entertainment, and Culture' at the India UK Achievers Honours, and she will be representing India on the UK stage. The Arts, Culture, Entertainment, and Sports Achievers Honours will recognise trailblazers who have proven excellence, creativity, or artistic genius by establishing acclaimed careers in arts, entertainment, culture, or sports.

When Parineeti Chopra revealed her journey how she become an actress

Parineeti Chopra made her Bollywood debut in the 2011 film Ladies Vs Ricky Bahl and has proved her mettle by acting in a number of films including Ishaqzaade, Hasee Toh Phasee, Sandeep Aur Pinky Faraar, The Girl On The Train, and Saina. But did you know she got into acting by luck? Parineeti once told Vogue in an old interview that she had always aspired to be a banker.

She returned to India in 2009 and applied for a position in the accounts department of YRF. YRF didn't have any vacancies for accounts, but they offered her an internship in the marketing and PR department, which she accepted. She was spotted by filmmaker Maneesh Sharma and received her first break with Ladies Vs Ricky Bahl.
