Taapsee Pannu on what fills her with pride, 'when I say yes to a movie that nobody wants me to do and it works'

Additionally, it was also her performance in ‘Dunki’ alongside Shah Rukh Khan that further cemented her place in Bollywood.

Taapsee Pannu’s remarkable journey as an actor is a narrative worth bookmarking in Bollywood. Known for her versatile performances, Taapsee has made significant strides not only in Bollywood but also in South and Hindi film industries. Her journey to success is marked by her ability to break barriers and redefine the norms of the film industry.

Taapsee Pannu known for the film that has now grown into a franchise, ‘Haseen Dilruba’ with its sequel coming up - ‘Phir Aayi Haseen Dilruba’ has perhaps made her the only female actress to shoulder such a major franchise on her shoulders. Especially, the way she drapes unique saree styles and designs featured in ‘Haseen Dillruba.’

Additionally, it was also her performance in ‘Dunki’ alongside Shah Rukh Khan that further cemented her place in Bollywood. Because despite sharing the screen with the King of Bollywood, Taapsee held her stand and was shining all through!

In a recent interview, Taapsee was asked what fills her with pride – love, life, family, or career? Her response was both candid and inspiring: “It is easy for me to feel happy or proud. When I say yes to a movie that nobody wants me to do and I end up doing it, and it works... that makes me proud. Or even when there’s a film I am cast in which nobody thought I could pull off, it fills me with pride.”

Elaborating further, she reflected on her career journey: “I think for a lot of films, I have not really been the first choice. For example, when ‘Haseen Dillruba’ (2021) happened, I think people didn’t really expect to see me in that avatar. When I was cast in ‘Dunki’ (2023), I don’t think anybody really expected me to be in that kind of film because I really don’t have access to or had been a part of that circle. So, these are the kind of things that make me feel proud that ‘okay you’ve probably done something right to reach here where you have’.”
