Meri Pyaari Bindu: Music runs in the family. Just look at Priyanka, says Parineeti Chopra

Parineeti Chopra will next be seen as an aspiring singer in Maneesh Sharma's Meri Pyaari Bindu. The Yash Raj Films production, directed by Akshay Roy, also features actor Ayushmann Khurrana.

The film will see Parineeti belting out some tunes for the first time ever. At the recently-concluded Times Of India Film Awards 2016 in Dubai, the actress said singing was a family trait, considering how her cousin, Priyanka Chopra has managed to juggle a successful singing career along with her acting projects.

"Actually everyone in my family was excited because everyone knows that we all sing. I think it's in our blood to sing. I think it's in Chopra blood to sing so they were very happy that I was getting to do it professionally finally."
