I was ‘rumoured’ to bring bad luck to films: Taapsee Pannu

Naam Shabana actress Taapsee Pannu revealed how she struggled hard to reach the pinnacle of success in film industry.

She also opened up in a social media post about her unpleasant experience in Bollywood and how she was labeled as a jinx to films.

Baby actress writes, “Three of the films I worked in didn’t work and I got the label of ‘iron leg’ — I was ‘rumored’ to bring bad luck to films. Mind you, all of these films had huge male co-stars and directors, but the failure of movies was blamed upon my bad luck.”

Taapsee Pannu also went through the same ordeal which is often faced by newcomers. “Actors have refused to work with me in Bollywood, because I’m not an ‘A list actress’,” writes Taapsee Pannu.

She added, “Producers have finalised me, locked my dates and then randomly backed out at the last minute because they got a bigger name.”

Taapsee also faced discrimination in her pay as she writes, “Expecting equal pay is far off, even the basic amount is something I have to fight for.”

Pink actress reveals that she had started modeling during her college days just to make extra pocket money.

She scored 88% in her CAT exams and was enroute to pursuing her MBA when she got an offer for a film.

Taapsee made her film debut in 2010 with K Raghavendra Rao’s film Jhhummandi Naadam. She played the role of a daughter of a US-based millionaire who comes to India to research traditional Telugu music.

She made her debut in Tamil cinema with critically acclaimed film Aadukala opposite Dhanush. Taapsee played a role of an Anglo-Indian girl falling in love with a rural man played by Dhanush. The movie won six National Film Awards at 58th National Film Awards ceremony.
