Taapsee Pannu: Need More People To Like Me

Taapsee Pannu is an Indian actress and model known for her work in South Indian cinema and Bollywood. Taapsee worked as a software professional and also pursued a career in modelling before becoming an actress.

2017 was a year of her. As she appeared in strong roles ‘Pink’ and ‘Naam Shabana’.

“With ‘Judwaa 2’, I captured the kind of market that I could have never penetrated into on another occasion. There is an entire audience that doesn’t understand the theme of ‘Pink’. That is the base that I have to capture. I would want to ask the people who lashed out at me for choosing this film why is it that ‘Pink’ or ‘Naam Shabana’ did not earn Rs 100 crores. If those films made as much money as ‘Judwaa 2’ did, I would not need to do the latter.” She said.

She further added, “I need people to see me and like me so that I can get the chance to do more empowering roles. It’s math. By being part of films like ‘Judwaa 2’, I can ensure that I garner more fans, who’d then want to watch me in other powerful films. I need to be bankable for those movies to reach the right audience too.”

She also spoke about how she was being stereotyped. “This industry is quick to stereotype. People had started talking about how I was primarily being part of women-centric movies. I didn’t want to be labelled as part of a mahila morcha. I would want to have the option of singing and dancing as well,” she said.
