\"ParineetiParineeti Chopra praises Alia Bhatt, Priyanka Chopra, Deepika Padukone and Katrina Kaif for challenging motherhood stereotypes (Image Credits Instagram) For years, motherhood was often viewed as a turning point in the careers of Hindi film actresses, with an outdated perception that becoming a mother could limit their opportunities on screen. Parineeti Chopra<\/a> believes that perception is changing, with several actresses continuing to work successfully after embracing motherhood. The actor, who shot her upcoming Netflix thriller ‘Shaque: Trust No One’ while pregnant with her son Neer, has now spoken about the support she received from the show\u2019s makers and why having a child should not determine the course of an actor\u2019s career.Speaking to Mid Day, Chopra credited producers Siddharth P Malhotra and Sapna Malhotra for making adjustments to the production and ensuring that her pregnancy did not compromise her safety while filming the action-heavy project.<\/p>\n

Parineeti Chopra recalls shooting ‘Shaque: Trust No One’ during pregnancy<\/p>\n

Parineeti Chopra said the process began with an open conversation with the makers about the practical changes that would be required during her pregnancy. According to the actor, the producers immediately worked with director Rensil D\u2019Silva to find creative solutions that would allow her to continue performing the demanding scenes safely.\u201cI told them, \u2018These are certain things I\u2019ll now have to do, and certain things I\u2019ll have to avoid. How can we make this work?\u2019 Here is when producers like Siddharth and Sapna matter because their minds switched to management mode. They immediately spoke to our director [Rensil D\u2019Silva] and started creatively finding solutions because I had to do a lot of action in this show. We\u2019ve done all of it, but in a way that was safe for me,\u201d Chopra told Mid Day.The actor also acknowledged that such support may not necessarily be available on every production. She said filmmakers have a responsibility to understand the emotional and physical circumstances surrounding pregnancy rather than making an actor feel guilty for becoming a mother.\u201cThere are certain filmmakers who might make the mother feel guilty. It\u2019s the craziest thing to do to her during this emotional time,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

Parineeti Chopra feels the audience is not cancelling mothers<\/p>\n

Chopra believes the idea that motherhood automatically limits an actress\u2019s career has already been challenged by several leading performers in the industry. She pointed to actresses including Alia Bhatt<\/a>, Priyanka Chopra<\/a>, Deepika Padukone, Kareena Kapoor Khan and Katrina Kaif as examples of women who have continued to pursue their careers after becoming mothers.\u201cAll of us \u2014 Alia [Bhatt], my cousin Priyanka [Chopra], Deepika [Padukone], Kareena [Kapoor Khan], and now Katrina [Kaif] \u2014 are here to prove that motherhood only inspires us to do more. It\u2019s also got to do with the audience. The audience is not cancelling mothers, [saying] they don\u2019t want to see us on screen anymore. Nothing else that happens in my life impacts my career. So why should having a baby impact it?\u201d<\/p>\n
