Actress Parineeti Chopra says her cousin, the multi-talented Priyanka Chopra, is a huge inspiration for her.
After bagging the Miss World title in 2000, Priyanka ventured into films, and she is among the top Bollywood actresses today. She has also forayed into singing with two international singles - "In my city" and "Exotic".
Parineeti, who joined showbiz in 2011 with "Ladies vs Ricky Bahl", is all praise for her elder sister.
"Priyanka is a huge inspiration for me," Parineeti said here.
"The kind of launch she has got ... I don't think any singer must have got. Singers always wait for one hit song so that they can move in the right direction, but she has directly reached Hollywood. It's the biggest launch ever. If I get any such opportunity I would never say 'No'," she added.
The vivacious actress says she harbours singing dreams too.
"It is my dream that I become a playback singer. I am trained in singing so one day I will certainly sing," she said.
Parineeti also says she seeks Priyanka's suggestions sometimes.
"In our family, people have no idea of what scripts to choose. So the only person from whom I can take an idea is Priyanka. I take all suggestions from her," said the 24-year-old.
