Ahead of the Ribhu Dasgupta-directorial The Girl on The Train’s direct-to-digital premiere on February 26 on Netflix, lead star Parineeti Chopra was surprised by her artist-mother Reena Chopra’s artwork dedicated to the upcoming film. The noted artist surprised her daughter with an incredible artwork to commemorate the actor’s upcoming thriller where she plays a complex woman struggling with grief and alcoholism.
Taking to her social media handle, Reena shared the artwork featuring a speeding yellow train with a girl standing in front of it, similar to a scene from TGOTT. The picture was followed by a heartmelting caption that read, “But then you always knew I am your biggest fan!! @parineetichopra !!! #girlonthetrain @netflix_in @netflixfilm @ribhu_dasgupta Arriving on 26th Feb !!!! So excited!!! (sic).”
Surprised at the sweet gesture, Parineeti took to her Instagram handle two hours later and gushed, “My mom surprised me with this painting yesterday (sic).” Planning to put up this painting in her plush new house in Mumbai, Parineeti added, “As most know my mother is a professional painter and she sells her artwork, but this one won't be sold as it is very precious. (also I think this is the first time she is truly impressed with a film of mine? Haha).” Sic
