<p>Busy as a bee, Parineeti Chopra has a lot on her plate and says she is enjoying her work and doesn't feel threatened by her contemporaries.<br /><br /></p>.<p>"This is my fourth year in the industry. And I'm doing the work that I am really enjoying," said the actress who is rubbing shoulders with the likes of Anushka Sharma, Deepika Padukone and Sonakshi Sinha.<br /><br />With seven films to her credit, Parineeti says she is far more alert and anxious. <br /><br />"Initially, I had nothing to lose. But with every passing film there are more expectations to live up to... There is a checklist of directors and actors you want to work with. The dreams expand and so do the anxieties. I want to be known for being versatile. So I'll search now for the roles that take me to another level."<br /><br />The spirited scene-stealer says she doesn't see any of her contemporaries as rivals. <br /><br />"I don't really feel anyone is a threat. There is enough room for everybody. That's how I feel right now. Maybe two years down the line, I'll start peering anxiously over my shoulder. But at the moment I'm happy to be just doing the work that I am," said the actress who debuted with "Ladies Vs Ricky Behl".<br /><br />Parineeti has no regrets about opting out of Shoojit Sircar's next film "Piku", in which she was to play Amitabh Bachchan's daughter. <br /><br />"The dates clashed with another film. I was so looking forward to it because it gave me a chance to work with two of the finest actors we have - Bachchan saab and Irrfan," she said and added: "Maybe it was too early for me to work with these stalwarts. I'd have probably forgotten my lines and just stared at them."<br /><br />As for losing out on the chance of doing a father-daughter film with the Big B, Parineeti said: "I have a very strong father-daughter bonding with Anupam Kher sir in 'Daawat-e-Ishq'. As for Bachchan saab, I'm sure I'll have other opportunities to work with him."<br /><br />"The audiences saw a new me in 'Hasee Toh Phasee'. Now they'll see me in an entirely new avatar in Shaad Ali's 'Kill Dill'. <br /><br />"I've lots on my plate. Till the release of 'Hasee Toh Phasee', I was shooting two films, dubbing and promoting. There was no time for myself. And I can't complain. Good scripts are coming my way. Obviously I can't say yes to every film and endorsement that comes my way."<br /><br />About losing out on the popular awards this year, the pragmatic Parineeti said: "Deepika Padukone deserved them. It would have been odd if I or anyone else got them. But I was nominated. And I was very happy."<br /><br />Having worked with Ranveer Singh, Arjun Kapoor, Sushant Singh Rajput, Siddharth Malhotra and Aditya Roy Kapoor, Parineeti says she's close to all of them. <br /><br />"But there is a special bonding with Arjun. We spent three months shooting together in Lucknow. Now I've spent a lot of time shooting with Aditya in Hyderabad. So these two are my favourites," said the actress.</p>
