The protests against Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA) are only growing by the day. Bollywood celebs like Sushant Singh and Farhan Akhtar can be spotted on ground taking part in the marches. On the other hand, celebs like Bhumi Pednekar, Twinkle Khanna, etc are tweeting out their support. Sushant recently tweeted that his stint as the host of Savdhaan India had ended. People came to conclusion that his presence in the protest had to do something with it. The channel clarified that it was not the case. Now, Haryana Government might have to issue a similar statement for Parineeti Chopra. The actress was the brand ambassador of the 'Beti Bachao, Beti Padhao' campaign in Haryana in 2015.
Now, latest reports are coming in suggesting that the actress has been removed from the position. The actress was on the firsts to be vocal, without diplomacy, against the police brutality calling it barbaric. But this is far from the truth. Speculations around her ouster from the project are far stretched. The actress ended her stint as the brand ambassador in 2016. In that year, Sakshi Malik, India’s bronze medalist at the Rio Olympics, was appointed for the role.
As per reports, project director of 'Beti Bachao, Beti Padhao', Yogendra Malik has said that Parineeti is not their brand manager. And he is not wrong. CAA Protests: After Farhan Akhtar Invites People for a Rally, IPS Officer Sandeep Mittal Hits Out at Him for Breaking the Law (Read Tweets).
Check Out Parineeti Chopra's Tweet Here:
If this is what’s gonna happen everytime a citizen expresses their view, forget #CAB, we should pass a bill and not call our country a democracy anymore! Beating up innocent human beings for speaking their mind? BARBARIC.

Well, as they say, observe caution while coming across such things on the internet. And in the times as such, tread lightly.
On the work front, Parineeti will be next seen in movies like, Sandeep aur Pinky Farrar, Saina Nehwal biopic and The Girl On The Train remake.
