Mumbai: Parineeti Chopra is thrilled to be directed by a stalwart filmmaker like Sooraj Barjatya for her next ‘Uunchai’. On the 58th birthday of the director, the actress thanks him for enriching her as a performer on screen.
Parineeti says, “Sooraj sir is the gentlest and the most amazing human being that I have ever met. He is so simple, so wise and so intelligent as a creative force, that someone like me, who is a complete director’s actor, can gain tremendously and sharpen one’s skill-set.
“Working with Sooraj ji on the sets of ‘Uunchai’ is like me going back to school because there is so much learning and unlearning at the same time that you feel creatively satiated after a shoot day.”
She adds that he is enriching her as an artiste and she can only be grateful to him for choosing her to be a part of his vision.
