"Inhuman, shameful, heartbreaking"; Parineeti Chopra reacts to Zomato controversy

Parineeti Chopra has weighed in on the latest controversy Zomato finds itself embroiled in. The actress took to social media to talk about the recent incident involving a Bangalore-based model-turned-makeup artiste accusing a Zomato delivery executive of assault. The actress urged the delivery service to look into the matter and find out the truth.

Parineeti added that she feels the delivery boy is innocent. She wrote, "Zomato India - PLEASE find and publicly report the truth.. If the gentleman is innocent (and I believe he is), PLEASE help us penalise the woman in question. This is inhuman, shameful and heartbreaking .. Please let me know how I can help.. #ZomatoDeliveryGuy @zomatoin."

What happened?

The model-turned-make-up artiste posted a video on social media, in which she claimed that the delivery agent punched her. On the other hand, the Zomato delivery boy has claimed that it was the woman who abused him and hit herself through her own ring. Zomato has temporarily suspended the delivery agent and is covering his legal costs. The company is also covering the medical expenses of the model-turned-make-up artiste.

Parineeti's upcoming projects

Meanwhile, Parineeti will be seen in the films Sandeep Aur Pinky Faraar and Saina. Helmed by Dibakar Banerjee, the film will see actor Arjun Kapoor play the role of a cop and Parineeti essays the role of an ambitious girl working in the corporate sector. Saina, a biopic based on the life of badminton ace Saina Nehwal, is directed by Amole Gupte and will release on March 26.
