In the dynamic world of Bollywood, few actresses have charted their course as assertively and openly as Taapsee Pannu. Renowned for her versatile performances and unwavering commitment to her art, Pannu is not just a revered actor but also a vocal proponent for personal boundaries and respect. "I believe I've chosen a path where I've realized, quite late, that no matter what I do, trolling is inevitable," she admitted, contemplating the unavoidable nature of online backlash. "Thus, I feel that this recent surge in trolling is a sign of my relevance in the digital era. When I am relevant, trolling occurs," the actor emphasized, linking her online criticism to her current relevance.
Pannu also discussed the fleeting nature of online trolling, observing that it often peaks around a specific post or tweet and then rapidly dissipates as public interest wanes. "People invest time in negativity towards me. I take it as a sign that I matter to them in some way," Pannu remarked. She is of the opinion that despite the harshness of modern trolls, they lack the power to ruin careers as they could in the past when critics wielded significant influence over an actor's trajectory. "No, they can't. Otherwise, I wouldn't be here," she asserted.
The actor was particularly vocal about her dealings with the paparazzi, stating, "I firmly believe that while I am a public figure, I am not public property. There is a vast difference between the two." She strongly defended her right to personal space, emphasizing that intrusive behavior by photographers is unacceptable. "If you shout at me or physically approach me too closely, that is not okay," Pannu declared. The conversation delved into her personal frustrations with the media's fixation on negative stories.
Despite these obstacles, Pannu remains dedicated to her craft. "I am putting in immense effort. I am pouring my heart and soul into every film," she passionately expressed. "If you believe I've done something worthwhile, please come and watch it." She also mentioned how her dedication to her work is reflected in the support she receives from critics, even when a film does not succeed commercially. "It's not as if they know me personally to recognize the hard work I put in. I think my sincerity towards my work is evident on camera. They likely sense that I've tried my best. The success of a film doesn't rest solely on my shoulders. It's a collective effort. Every film is a team effort. I strive to give my best. If it didn't work out for various reasons, I shouldn't be solely blamed. So, they've been gracious enough to acknowledge my efforts. They've mostly been kind to me," Pannu explained.
On the professional front, she was recently seen in 'Phir Aayi Hasseen Dillruba' and 'Khel Khel Mein.'
