She gave several critically acclaimed performances in films such as Pink (2016), Naam Shabana (2017) and Mulk (2018), but never knew that would be at the risk of getting typecast. And now, actor Taapsee Pannu has made a conscious decision to not do something, which would put her in any sort of a bracket.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI get a lot of offers for action films, or stories that revolve around a molested woman or a rape victim. But, I don\u2019t take them up as a rule. You can\u2019t keep doing the same thing again and again and spoil the sanctity of what you did. Unless it is taking me notch higher, I\u2019ll not repeat myself,\u201d says Taapsee, who was seen in Badla and Game Over earlier this year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
However, Taapsee maintains it wasn\u2019t the case with her and she was \u201cnever desperate\u201d to take up work just to be visible. \u201cBeing an accidental actor, I was never desperate to take up roles just to have some screen presence. It was not a \u2018be all and end all\u2019 of my life. The fear that \u2018if I don\u2019t do films, where will the money come from\u2019 was never there. Thus, I didn\u2019t take decisions that I would have later regretted,\u201d says the actor, adding that she \u201cpatiently waited for the right opportunity\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
With two more projects Tadka and Thappad in her kitty, Taapsee shares that not everyone is offered meaty roles. \u201cEvery actor goes through the struggle of getting good roles. When your first film works, it is always a beginners\u2019 luck, but then starts the real struggle. And after that, one has to really prove themselves,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
To be next seen in Mission Mangal and Saand Ki Aankh, The 31-year-old feels \u201cit\u2019s very easy for people to typecast actors because many of them, who don\u2019t have an option, find it difficult to say \u2018no\u2019 to similar kind of work coming their way\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
An established name in the south cinema, Taapsee\u2019s struggle began after her Bollywood debut Chashme Baddoor (2013) when she was still figuring out what kind of films she wants to do. \u201cI was being patient waiting and choosing offers and even going out there asking for what I really wanted to do. For instance, for Baby (2015), I approached the director and asked if he can cast me for the role I was keen to do. Fortunately, Pink came my way,\u201d she shares.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
