Newbie actress Mannara, who made her Hindi film debut with the erotic thriller "Zid" last year, says she has gained significant learning from her cousins Priyanka and Parineeti Chopra.
"I've definitely gained a lot of experience from my sisters. I've learnt how to carry myself in the industry and how to behave with Bollywood celebrities. Since my sisters have already established themselves, they've set up a platform for me to learn a lot," Mannara told IANS in an exclusive talk.
However, according to her, having someone in the industry is not the most important tool to establish oneself in the industry.
"The most important factor is hard work and luck to achieve success," she said.
After starting her career with a Telugu film, Mannara has now again signed up for a South Indian film for which she'll start shooting next month. She has also signed a Hindi film but she's not too keen to reveal the details of either.
