Actor Taapsee Pannu has recently been candid about the ‘PR Game’ in the Hindi film industry. The actress claimed that it "has gone to some other level."

In an interview with Times Now News, Taapsee noted that people are "paying to push someone else down" and asked whether one's prosperity is contingent on "someone else's failure."

Taapsee talked candidly about the "PR game" and how things have evolved.

She said, “I was too busy doing my own things. But last 1.5-2 years se I have slowed down things and it has also been a conscious effort. I have realised that this PR game has gone to some other level. You are paying either to, I mean push yourself. Which was one version of doing PR. You are also paying to push someone else down.”

The actress elaborated, “Since when did your success depend upon someone else's failure? People have started creating a new facade of their personalities because they need relevance. I am not okay with just me being there in a hit film, I also need to have a very strong voice even if it is not yours.”

She continued, “But you have to create a voice. And that voice that you are trying to create beyond films is not matching with the work you are doing. So that discrepancy. You are saying beyond your films but your work is saying something else.”

She also discussed spending money on her loved ones and herself rather than "planting articles."
