Had good, bad experiences in film industry, says Taapsee Pannu

October 3, 2016

New Delhi, Oct 3: Taapsee Pannu, who is currently riding high on the success of her latest release Pink, says she doesn’t find a difference between southern cinema and Bollywood as she has had good and bad experiences in both.

taapsee-pannuTaapsee made her acting debut with the 2010 Telugu film Jhummandi Naadam and ventured into Bollywood in 2013 Chashme Baddoor. Asked if she finds any difference between the two industries, Taapsee said over phone from Hyderabad: “Nothing. Apart from the language, I don’t feel any difference because I have had good or bad experiences in both the industries.”

The actress will soon be seen sharing screen space with actor Rana Daggubati in the upcoming film Ghazi. The submarine-based war film is directed by debutant Sankalp.

Taapsee Pannu garnered a lot of praise for her performance in Pink and now with the rumours doing rounds about it being remade in Telugu, the actor says she will love to be a part of it. Taapsee said, “I don’t know about that till now, but if they do approach me, I would love to do.”

Talking about how she feels about Pink success, the actress said all the appreciation has made her more cautious about the choice of roles she makes, as she doesn’t want to disappoint her fans.

“The response I got for those 20 minutes in ‘Baby’ was very good because of which I got a lot of other films in which you’ll be seeing me next year. Now, it has got escalated to certain other level after ‘Pink, which makes me a little scared, now what do I choose to live up to those expectations,” the 29-year-old said.

Los Angeles, May 24: Hollywood star Salma Hayek says her daughter Valentina Pinault is a talented 12 year old who wants to be a director and star as a lead in a film one day.

The Oscar-nominated actor shares Valentina with husband, French billionaire Francois-Henri Pinault.

Hayek said she has confidence in her daughter's abilities and believes she has a long way to go.

"She has so many talents. She draws, she wants to shoot movies - both as a director and as the lead - and she writes great pieces. Sometimes when I read her work, I have an urge to produce these stories.

"But she tells me that she will do it by herself when she's older. I don't know what's coming next for her but it seems that she has a lot of ways to go," the actor told HELLO! magazine.

Hayek, 53, added she is concerned about Valentina who has always lived a sheltered life.

"Valentina has always done what she wanted, I've never made her do anything and this means she hasn't yet learned how to oppose pressure, how to overcome obstacles.

"I know by experience that only the overcoming of some difficulties can lead you in the right direction," she said.

New Delhi, May 28: On the World Menstrual Hygiene Day, former Miss World Manushi Chhillar on Thursday underlined the need to spread awareness on feminine hygiene.

The 23-year-old star has been roped in by UNICEF to spread awareness on the need to educate girls on personal hygiene.

Manushi, who is participating in the UNICEF global initiative called the Red Dot Challenge, stated, "Every young girl has the right to accurate information about her body.

I am calling all girls, boys, women and men to take the #RedDotChallenge with me. Because of Menstruation Matters. @unicefindia."

Along with the post, Chhillar shared her pictures with red dots on her hand representing the 'Red Dot Challenge.'
