I'm in the most exciting phase of my career: Parineeti Chopra

Mumbai: Parineeti Chopra has so far faced ups and downs in her acting career in the industry but the actress feels that she is in the most exciting phase of her career with projects like "Golmaal Again" and Dibakar Banerjee's upcoming directorial "Sandeep Aur Pinky Faraar" in her kitty.

Parineeti has also been appointed as the first Indian woman Ambassador of the "Friend of Australia" (FOA) advocacy panel by Tourism Australia.

"I am in the most exciting phase of my career. I have just been appointed as the Friend of Australia and I feel humbled to be given this honour," said 'Kill Dil' actress.

"On the movies front, I am in prep work for 'Sandeep Aur Pink Faraar', which is a physically and mentally challenging project. I am very excited about it as it is an intense movie. After this, I will begin shooting for 'Namaste Canada', which is a light film. I will be working with Arjun Kapoor in both these movies," she added.

The actress has faced failures with films like "Kill Dil", "Daawat-e-Ishq" and "Shuddh Desi Romance". She received mixed response for her drastic weight loss, with some praising her dedication and with some criticising her for sending out a negative message.

Parineeti, whose "Meri Pyaari Bindu" failed to elicit expected response at the box office this year, says Arjun is a close friend, and she can't wait to begin working with him.

"More than me, Arjun should be happy as he will get to spend almost a year with me since we are shooting for two back-to-back movies. I am very excited and looking forward to both the films as he is one of my closest friends in the film industry. I am happy he is my co-star," said the cousin sister of globally popular star Priyanka Chopra.
