Bollywood actor Parineeti Chopra, who spent most of her childhood in Ambala, a city in Haryana, recalled the financial struggles of her parents while raising three kids including herself. She went on to reveal that times were so difficult that her father couldn’t afford even a birthday cake and they would resort to a rasgulla instead. 

Parineeti Chopra would cut a rasgulla on her birthday 

In an interview with Mashable Middle East, the Chamkila actor shared, “I’ve seen the struggle of my parents when they used to not have money to get a birthday cake for me. My dad used to go to the market and buy one piece of Rasgulla, just a piece, not a kilo, one piece of Rasgulla or Rasmalai, and we used to cut that Rasmalai like a birthday cake.”
