What vidya balan said

Vidya Balan, who made her debut with Parineeta, said, 'Parineeta is where it all began... Every frame of the film carries a piece of my heart, and I’ll forever be grateful to Pradeep da (my Dada) and Mr Vinod Chopra for believing in me. I owe so much of who I am as an actor to this film.

'Even after all these years, people remember the film, the songs, and how it made them feel. People say every frame in the film is like a painting… and that is Pradeep Sarkar’s magic… So I do hope people and the new generation discover old-world love through Parineeta,” she said in a statement.

The film stars Vidya Balan, making a striking debut, alongside Saif Ali Khan and Sanjay Dutt, with all three delivering memorable performances.
