Taapsee Pannu has developed a niche for herself in Bollywood in a short span of time and the whole country is starting to notice.?
With thought-provoking performances in films like Pink, Mulk, and Game Over, Taapsee Pannu has certainly become a force to be reckoned with. Her upcoming release Thappad, is further going to establish what a great actor Taapsee is.?
In an interview with PTI, Taapsee spoke about how she understood the true meaning of a patriarchal society and how gender discrimination is far from dead when she started working in Bollywood.?
"I have understood the meaning of the word patriarchy in recent years... like if the father says you cannot go out, you don't question that. Your mother may agree with you but she is just running the house, so it does not matter. You have to be in the house by 8 pm because guys can't control themselves," Taapsee told PTI.?
She even went onto address issues that give rise to gender discrimination within the industry and how the only thing to bring about change would be the kind of work actors do.?
"Small things about gender parity and pay parity... But you cannot change that by just shouting that 'this is not right'. You have to ensure that people start to recognize that change through your work. Maybe the new generation will not see the difference, but the generation next to us will," she said.??
?With five more films in her kitty,?Taapsee is busier than ever?and her upcoming film, Thappad is set to hit theatres on the 28th of February. Directed by Anubhav Sinha, the movie details how a woman decides to leave her husband for slapping her once, bringing up the issue of domestic violence in a powerful manner.?
This film aims at bringing about change in the way women are treated in our society and we hope that it succeeds to the fullest.?
