Taapsee Pannu Talks About Sexism in Bollywood

With her remarkable performance in Thappad, the leading actress Taapsee Pannu talks about sexism in Bollywood and thereby, she has been very vigilant when it comes to making her decision before finalizing the scripts.

The actress has been in the industry for almost a decade now and through her dedication and conscientiousness, Pannu has played some virtuoso characters making her personality chatty in the industry.

In a recent interview with Filmfare, the actress talked about how she coped up with the sexism and misogyny in Bollywood and how her plan of action changed her decision-making while signing for films.

Pannu highlights that she has been labeled as a ‘bad luck charm and the ‘illusional hate’ on her social media during the lockdown.

The journey of sexism begins with not being considered as appealing and oftentimes been replaced because it was against the will of the actor’s spouse.

Most of the time, either her dialogues were changed or they were dubbed by some other artists without her consent.

Sometimes, the budget was asked to be curtailed because the previous film of the actor didn’t work out well.

Moreover, changes were coerced in the introduction scene as it was too influential for the leading actor to fit in and the list goes on.
