Parineeti Chopra revealed that in her teenage days, her sister Priyanka Chopra used to teach her English songs."We did not play Antakshari as she (Priyanka) went to the US for studies. When she came back from the US at the age of 16 she was totally American with the accent and she used to teach us English songs. She was cool and amazing," Parineeti said.
Parineeti is the latest celebrity making her singing debut in Bollywood with Maana Ke Hum Yaar Nahi from her upcoming film Meri Pyaari Bindu.
The actress said her father is her inspiration."My dad is my idol and inspiration when it comes to singing. He still sits with a harmonium and does 'riyaz', he sings everywhere he can. He cried when he heard me and my brother sing.
"I released my song for him. I feel he wanted to see my musical dream come true. I dedicate all my songs to him.
"I want to be a better and better singer just for him," she added.
Singing may be her first love, but the actress said acting will always be her main focus."My intense passion is to be the best actor I can be.
Directed by Akshay Roy, Meri Pyaari Bindu, will hit theatres on May 12.
