Parineeti Chopra says she admires Alia Bhatt, Deepika Padukone and Priyanka Chopra for continuing their acting careers after becoming mothers. Speaking around her return to work, she adds that she would not want to stop working after having a child.

Chopra’s comments come as she prepares to step back into films with “Shaque,” described as her first project after motherhood. At an event linked to the project, she also credits audiences for changing attitudes, saying they are no longer “cancelling mothers.” Times of India reports she contrasts this with earlier expectations that mothers might withdraw from public-facing careers.

Both outlets frame her remarks as supportive of working mothers, while focusing on different surrounding details: NDTV emphasizes her praise of the three actresses’ balance of motherhood and work, and Times of India highlights the audience-attempt framing and her specific project return, noting her last film was “Amar Singh Chamkila,” prior to motherhood.
