The source adds that representatives from a local newspaper, called The Cairns Post, got in touch with her, and asked her to give them an interview. The source says, “Parineeti obliged. She was amazed to see how popular Bollywood is becoming the world over. She spoke about her trip to Australia and about the Hindi film industry, among other things. The newspaper even published the first picture that Parineeti had uploaded online, photoshopped it and placed a Bollywood sign in the background, much like the famous Hollywood sign in Los Angeles, USA.”

Parineeti, who has just returned to Mumbai, says, “The trip was awesome. I will never forget it.” She adds, “The recognition I got locally was amazing. Even at the airport, people told me that they had seen me in the news. It’s cool that I could make a small mark there.”
