Bollywood Hungama
Parineeti Chopra recently shared a detailed behind-the-scenes look at her experience filming Amar Singh Chamkila through a new vlog, accompanied by photos and videos from the set. The actor opened up about her most memorable moments -- from singing live on camera with Diljit Dosanjh to her emotional wrap day and even her first meeting with husband Raghav Chadha. For Parineeti, the Imtiaz Ali directorial became one of the most unique and personal projects of her career.
Parineeti Chopra reveals how Amar Singh Chamkila pushed her limits as she navigated live singing, emotional highs, gruelling death scenes and finding love with Raghav Chadha
"Diljit is a rockstar, and I am a wannabe singer"
Parineeti recalled how Imtiaz Ali kept the set theatre-like, encouraging both actors to perform with raw energy. Instead of lip-syncing to pre-recorded tracks, Parineeti and Diljit sang live during takes.
"We never lip-synced; we actually sang on set. The mics we wore recorded our real vocals. Nothing was dubbed later in a studio," she said, adding that the process was challenging but creatively rewarding.
She also shared a playful moment with Diljit, writing that he joked, "You become Rihanna." She added, "I tried acting like Rihanna, and it was a total flop. Diljit was playing Chamkila, and we were both pretending to be cool. The whole set was laughing."
How Chamkila led Parineeti to Raghav Chadha
The film also held sentimental value because it played an unexpected role in Parineeti's personal life. She revealed that her first connection with Raghav Chadha happened through the film.
When Imtiaz Ali travelled to Punjab for shoot planning, he met Raghav, who was then the local MP responsible for approvals and logistics. Parineeti shared, "We didn't know each other at that time. When the shoot happened in Punjab in 2023, that's when I met Raghav. We met, we started dating, and even today we both say that somewhere, Chamkila played a part in bringing us together."
