Acting an emotionally draining, insecure profession: Parineeti

Parineeti Chopra says she has a secret aim in life: to reach out to the audience and explain how demanding being an actor can be, as all that glitters in this profession may not always be gold.

The 29-year-old actor believes being an actor is akin to feeling a plethora of emotions all the time.

"It is the most emotional job in the world. You can be angry and still do your job. But I have to let go what I am feeling and put up a front in personal life. Can you imagine how emotionally draining that can be?"
"It's my life's aim to make people understand the job of an actor, what they go through and why they are such a protected species. People see the glamour part of it. But there's so much stress that often you don't even pay attention to the luxuries."
"If there's any actor who is saying we are not insecure they are lying, because this job is an emotional one. You are not pitted against each other because of talent. Even non-talented people are huge stars in the country and there are talented people who are sitting at home."
