Actor Parineeti Chopra posted a screenshot of a tweet which was posted by a Twitter handle named Fun Kids India, an Indian web-based channel for kids. In the tweet shared by Parineeti, the organizers of the channel asserted that she will be the piece of the part of the judging panel of one of their competitions. Parineeti called it a “sham”and affirmed that she won’t be a part of the show.

On Saturday, Parineeti posted a screenshot of a tweet by Fun Kids India. In the now-erased tweet, the organizers referenced that Parineeti and Salim Merchant will be the judges of the kids show.

Parineeti shared the screenshot and wrote, “Absolute SHAM – I am not associated with this show in any way. Request you to kindly remove my name and not take advantage of kids and their parents in this way.”

Fun Kids India replied to Parineeti’s tweet and wrote, “We are in touch with your manager for the last 3 months, you have mentioned you are happy to come on board and want to meet us face to face. We are planning to meet you after 19th Dec 2022.” One person replied to the page’s reply and wrote, “So that means, I email you and call you but you don’t give any formal confirmation, yet I can say that I am associated with you? Doesn’t that sound senseless? @FunKidsIndia.”

Fun Kids India replied back to the internet user and said, “@mohammad bhai (brother), it’s not one email or one call, it’s 20+, every week, the agency involved has assured us… We want to come to Mumbai face-to-face meeting and got busy with our North India audition. Let’s not discuss it here, please!!”
