Parineeti made her debut in Hindi cinema in 2011 film 'Ladies vs Ricky Bahl', is a trained singer. She says she was waiting to get an oppotunity to sing in a film.

"That (singing) was something which was waiting to happen. Everyone around me knew that I sang. I am a trained singer...Directors and music directors would say 'you should sing' but it just never happened and then finally this film happened...It was something that was waiting to happen I think," said the 27-year-old actress.

The announcement of the Parineeti's next film was done with a video on Yash Raj Films' official Twitter handle. It showed the actress singing a song from the upcoming project.
