Charming as she is in happy-go-lucky roles, Parineeti Chopra has, on countless occasions, expressed the desire to break her bubbly image. The actor has put her money where her mouth is — if the trailer of The Girl on the Train is any indication, she has delivered a gritty performance as an alcoholic who inadvertently gets involved in a missing person case. But for her, the journey of transforming into Mira in front of the camera was far from easy.
“I have tapped into my innermost traumatic memories to bring this character to life. I don’t remember how many times I broke down on the set because I was revisiting memories that I had buried deep in my mind and heart,” says Chopra, who fronts the Hindi adaptation of Paula Hawkins’s 2015 bestseller of the same name. The Netflix film also features Kirti Kulhari, Aditi Rao Hydari and Avinash Tiwary.
