Mumbai: Bollywood actress Parineeti Chopra, who had an opportunity to meet West Indian cricket legend Brian Lara in Hyderabad, said she felt honoured and called him a “humble human being”. “An honour to have met you! You are such a humble human being. So touched @BrianLara,” Parineeti tweeted. The “Hasee Toh Phasee” star also shared two images with Lara, whom she met at the launch of US-based YuppTV, an internet based TV streaming service provider, in Hyderabad on Wednesday. Parineeti, who was last seen in 2014 movie “Kill Dil”, shared: “At the Yupp Tv Launch with the amaZing @BrianLara! #Hyderabad”. After grabbing eyeballs for her new slim avatar, the cousin of actress Priyanka Chopra was seen in a multi-starrer web-series “Man’s World”, made in support of UN Global Goals for Sustainable Development campaign.

“I think the Indian team playing at home is very dangerous team. And they proved that during [by winning] the World Cup in 2011 in India under Mahendra Singh Dhoni. They have got very exciting players and versatile,” Lara told reporters on the sidelines of an event here. “I expect them to be favourites in the tournament [Twenty20 World Cup]. I know home pressure is always there. I think the guys have grown a lot and I believe they have got a very good chance in the World Cup,” he said, reported PTI.

On to the West Indies and Lara was asked if he has ever given a thought to playing the mentor’s role for the current side. “If I was to get involved mentoring or coaching the West Indies team I don’t think there is going to be any big difference. I think our problem is very deep-rooted. Our infrastructure is pretty average and administratively we are not doing a good job. I don’t believe any one person can create any magic at the top level and see different performances,” he said, reported PTI again.
