Parineeti Chopra has been invited as Grand Marshall and Guest of Honour at the prestigious New York India Day Parade this year. People of Indian-origin will gather in New York from all across North America to celebrate Indian independence. She will also ring the opening trade bell at Nasdaq, other than her other event appearances. “I believe India's story should be celebrated everywhere, and the journey of Indian-origin people is nothing short of incredible. The most successful community of expatriates anywhere, I treasure this opportunity to celebrate our independence in such a festive manner in New York,” she said in a statement.
