Priyanka Chopra’s Cousin Meera makes her Bollywood Debut with Gang of Ghosts

Meera Chopra, the cousin of Bollywood Actresses Priyanka Chopra is setting her foot in Bollywood with the movie Gang of Ghosts, directed by Satish Kaushik.

Meera who was earlier known as Lila is a well known face in South Indian Cinema. She made her film debut in 2005 with Tamil Film Anbe Aaruyire. The movie was a big hit and instantly she became a household name in Tamil Nadu.

Meera was born in New Delhi and completed her studies from Saginaw Valley State University, Michigan. Chopra later went on to work in New York for a brief period. She also worked at NDTV before joining films.

However, reports say that all is not well between Chopra Sisters. Parineeti Chopra who also happens to be her cousin refused to consider her family. Parineeti said that they neither meet nor talk.

Priyanka however appeared a bit more lenient when asked about Meera. “I will make sure I am there for them(cousins). It warms my heart to see my cousins coming here.”, she said to reporters.

However Meera is quite enthusiastic about her Family Brand. “I will make Chopra surname more strong. I will not let down my surname down.Both my sisters (Priyanka and Parineeti) have proved themselves, so there is a lot of expectation, but I am confident.” Meera said during an Interview.

Meera says that she often speaks to Priyanka on several topics but denied taking any tips from her.

Meera was implicated in several controversies in past. in 2009, her name appeared in an MMS Scandal. In 2011, her name appeared in connection to a Murder Case of 28 year old Woman. These incidents hurt her career seriously and forced her to take a break from film industry. She also changed her name from Lila to Meera for the same reason.

Now she would be making her Bollywood debut with Sathish Kaushik’s Film Gang Of Ghost, which is a remake of Bengali film Bhooter Bhabishyat. She would be cast opposite to Sharman Joshi, while Anupam Kher, Chunky Pandey and Mahie Gill are also part of the movie.

The Movie, Gang Of Ghost  is about a haunted house which is being pulled down and being replaced with a swanky shopping mall. Apparently, the ghosts who belong to different era consider this as their home so what happens later on shapes the rest of the story.
