Mumbai, Dec 8 (IANS): Of Parineeti Chopra's three releases this year, two bombed at the box office. However, the actress says ups and downs are part of everyone's life and she hopes the new year will be better for her.

In all of her three releases this year -- "Hasee Toh Phasee", "Daawat-e-Ishq" and "Kill Dil" -- the 26-year-old played different characters.

While "Hasee Toh Phasee" showed her in a quirky character of a mad scientist, in "Daawat-e-Ishq" and "Kill Dil", she was seen as a con girl and a bar dancer respectively. Out of these, only "Hasee Toh Phasee" had a fair box office performance.

"Year 2014 had many ups and downs for me in everything -- be it my personal life or professional, but I think that is what an actor's life is," Parineeti said here in an interview.

"You never get a consistent year every time. Sometimes it is good and sometimes it is not, and I think I was somewhere in the middle. But that's okay," she added.

Now the actress has pulled up her socks for next year and says "2015 will be better".

As of now, Parineeti has not taken on any new project and she is busy reading scripts.
