Taapsee Pannu has time and again proved her potential in Bollywood. However, much like other stars, the actor’s filmography journey was somehow like a rollercoaster ride. Recalling this, Taapsee once revealed being called ‘unlucky charm’.
In an old interview with Scroll a few years ago, Taapsee had opened up about the phase in her career when she was considered an unlucky factor for films. She said, “Everyone started calling me an unlucky girl and an unlucky charm because a couple of my films in Telugu did not work. Honestly, I would not say that I thought a lot about these films before signing these films, because I had no clue at the time.”
Elaborating how she learnt from her mistakes. “I was signing films based on the credible names, which clearly did not work in my favour. Since I do not come a from a film background, I learned from my mistakes. What was a setback, according to me, was that I was blamed for a film not working, where all I had to do was three songs or five scenes. But I often used to think, why me? It was not so much that it bogged me down, but it made me take the control in my hands in terms of choosing what I wanted to do, rather than listening to everybody else,” said the actor.
