Parineeti Chopra recently attended the trailer launch for her new series, “Shaque: Trust No One,” in Mumbai. The event featured other notable guests, including Anup Soni, Soni Razdan, Jennifer Winget, and director Rensil D’Silva. Despite a late start that frustrated the media, Parineeti’s lively personality and engaging comments brightened the atmosphere.
During the event, she opened up about her pregnancy, which she discovered while filming. She expressed gratitude for the way the production team supported her during this time. When asked if her performance in the series—a story focused on a mother searching for her child—would have changed if she had known about her pregnancy earlier, she responded thoughtfully.
“That’s a great question. To answer your question, maybe,” Parineeti said. She acknowledged the ongoing industry conversation about how motherhood affects female actors and stressed the importance of having an open dialogue.
She remarked, “Women actors are ‘women humans.’ I can’t wait to retire at 50, 60, or 70 and then get pregnant, right? Each project is unique, and so is each situation. I was lucky because I had the chance to discuss my needs with the makers, which allowed us to find a solution and keep the project moving forward.”
Parineeti emphasized that it’s essential to have discussions tailored to individual cases rather than applying a one-size-fits-all rule about motherhood and work. “I believe that solutions can be found,” she added. “Nobody should feel overwhelmed by this.”
In her own experience, Parineeti felt fortunate that the project’s team was adaptable and considerate. She noted how they worked closely with her schedule and maintained open communication about everything from filming hours to travel plans, ensuring a positive working experience.
“Shaque: Trust No One” is set to launch on Netflix on September 24, and it promises to unravel a gripping tale of a mother’s nine-year search for her child.
