EP-207 | Taapsee Pannu on working with Shah Rukh Khan, Nepo Kids, Paparazzi & Her Marriage

From an engineer to 'Haseen Dilruba' of the Hindi film industry, Taapsee Pannu has carved out a niche in Bollywood over the past decade. Starting with roles in South Indian movies and working her way up to collaborating with Bollywood’s ‘Badshah,’ Shah Rukh Khan, the ‘Thappad’ actor has come a long way. Known for her candidness, Taapsee is not one to shy away from speaking her mind.

In this episode of the ANI podcast with Smita Prakash, Taapsee discusses her latest projects, including 'Phir Aayi Haseen Dilruba' and 'Khel Khel Mein'. The 'Pink' actor dives into the nepotism debate and also explains why many actors avoid discussing their political views.

She talks about attending the Paris Olympics, where her husband was the coach of the Indian badminton players. Taapsee also reveals why she chooses not to share details about her personal life on social media and addresses the Imane Khelif gender row at the Paris Olympics.

Additionally, Taapsee explores the differences between Southern and Hindi film audiences, recalls her family’s experience during the 1984 anti-Sikh riots, and explains why she chose a career in films over-engineering. Taapsee also criticizes the paparazzi for breaching privacy and invading actors' personal space.
