"Birthdays are about doing something fun and interesting. This year I've decided to join Instagram, something I've been contemplating for a while now," Parineeti said in a statement.

She took to Twitter on Oct 15 to share the news and asked her fans to submit their selfies in association with Fluence, a celebrity digital network. She also posted a series of tweets urging her fans to submit wacky selfies.

In one of her Twitter posts on Oct 17, she wrote: "My 1st picture on Instagram HAS TO BE with you guys!! Send me some crazy selfies - the best ones will inaugurate my acc :) #ParineetionInsta."

"So many lovely selfies already!! Get your friends along ..

"Lets see how many people you can fit in one selfie!!!! The more people in the picture, the better it is!!! :)," she posted further.

With her upcoming movie "Kill Dil" grabbing attention with it's catchy music, the actress has picked the right time to add spunk to the photo-sharing site.
