The Naam Shabana Actor shares about her rejections when she put her first step in the bollywood industry. She thought she would not survive more than 10 years.
Taapsee says she get shattered after losing out on a film
She reveals that she faced a number of rejections in her past irrespective of acting chops
but due to the reason of having no God Father or connection in the bollywood industry.
“I used the same hand to pat my back and to pick me up
when I get shattered after losing out on a film due to reasons except your credibility to that role.
It is not a shocker to me that a film went out of my hands,
not because I was not credible,
but because I was not so-and-so’s daughter or sister or dating so-and-so,” Taapsee told Media House.

Taapsee : unaware of whether she get second Chance or not
“I have got replaced. I am moving towards that zone where I don’t want to be a replaceable name. This is my goal. I want to hear from the industry that, ‘you are the only one who can do this, we will not go ahead with the project, if you don’t do this’…. And I want to hear from the audience that, ‘it is worth watching a film that I have done’. I am slowly heading towards that,” she adds. Being an outsider, Taapsee says she is aware that she might not get a second chance to prove her credentials if her films fail to enthrall the audience.

Taapsee : ‘I will not feel safe and secure’
“Nobody is going to keep giving me chances even after two-three of my films don’t do well. I am aware of it and that is why I will not feel safe and secure. I have accepted that. “But inspite of this, whatever little success I have achieved, it is so thrilling and exciting that it keeps me going,” she says. Taapsee’s work in films like “Pink”, “Naam Shabana” and an out-and-out glamorous role in “Judwaa 2” has won her accolades. Calling herself an untrained actor, Taapsee says she has never cleared auditions as she cannot act in an unreal set up.

Actor recalls when she had entered the film industry
“Acting is reacting. If you put a camera on me and tell me to say my lines when I don’t know the brief and someone else is giving the counter lines in a very lame way, I can’t act like this. “On camera, I can do it as there is an ambiance and I have my co-actors and the director has given me the brief,” she says. “I have taken my words back. Today, it doesn’t matter what age you are, you are still the hero of the film like Sridevi ma’am. Till the time you are capable of pulling the audience to theatre, you will be around,” she says.
Well we wish her success for her upcoming film Mulk and loads of love.
