/> Parineeti Chora loves Priyanka Chopra. But is somewhat wary of her star-cousin's name being mentioned every time Parineeti is being discussed.

If the truth be told, Parineeti now wants her own identity. `I am proud to be Priyanka's sister. But I want to be known for myself, the way Ranbir is known although he is Kareena Kapoor's cousin. People should forget where I come from her. I don't want to be called only Priyanka's sister. I want to be as good as her. People should say Priyanka and Parineeti are both fabulous actors. `

Parineeti doesn't see Priyanka as competition at all. `How can Priyanka be my rival? She is been here so much longer. I think I am lucky that I am known after just two films as more than Priyanka's cousin. People say we're both good actors. `

Like Priyanka, Parineeti is a trained singer. Says Parineeti, `It runs in the family. My dad and Priyanka's dad are brothers. They used to sing together on stage. And when Priyanka and I were kids we performed on stage together. So yeah, I love singing. If I get a chance to make a dream singing debut like Priyanka I'd grab it. Maybe later. And I also love reading. But most of all I like sleeping. That's when I regain all my energy. Then I go out and act. `


Parineeti says she comes from a background where self-discipline is a precondition. `I was a focussed student in school and college. I want to continue that way as an actress. ` As for stardom Parineeti rejects it at the moment. `I am not a star at all! Stardom comes after years of work. It doesn't happen with two films. Let me get a solid 7-8 years of work done before we talk of stardom for me. I'm just lucky to be here at a time when audiences are willing to watch newcomers. Yeah, I do enjoy being recognized on the streets. If that didn't happen I'd be really depressed. My aim is to be known by everyone who sees films. I don't want any viewer to ask, 'Parineeti who? ' I am here for a very long time. `
