‘Don’t compare me with my cousins’
Her cousin Priyanka Chopra is a star. Now, another family member, Mannara, is all set to enter Bollywood with Zid and Parineeti Chopra feels that it is unfair to pit her against her cousins.
Zid trailer is out and when Parineeti was asked whether she had seen it and did she think Mannara will be a competitor, she said: “Yes, I saw the teaser and I think she looks sexy. I think it's time that people stopped comparing me with my sisters in a negative way. We all have immense love for each other.” Is she hoping to bag another National Award for Kill DilIJ “When I did Ishaqzaade, I only wanted that my critics, the audience and my parents should like it. With Kill Dil, I have tried something different and National Awards definitely motivates you,” she said.

‘Dad, you’re not a great singer’
One of Usher's sons studies his dance moves meticulously, while the other has said to the Grammy-winning star: “You're not a great singer.” Usher says his son Nayvid Ely Raymond, who turns six in December, isn't impressed with the multiplatinum singer.
“He doesn't care about what I do as much. ... He's like, ‘I'm the star. Who are youIJ You singIJ'” Usher said in a recent interview. He told me the other day, he says, ‘You're not a great singer,'” Usher, 36, continued with a laugh. His reply to his son: “WhatIJ I'm a great singer!”
Usher said his son named after him, who turns seven next month, has taken to his father's dance talents. “When seeing me perform on tour in the past... and most of the time it's past his bedtime, but he's just sitting there studying every move, every second, like laser focus,” he said of Usher Raymond V.
