Taapsee Pannu On Playing An Older Character In Saand Ki Aankh: Did We Question When Aamir Played A College Kid In 3 Idiots?
Taapsee Pannu Questions The Age Issue In Saandh Ki Aankh
Updated : September 24, 2019 06:55 PM IST
Yesterday Taapsee Pannu and Bhumi Pednekar starrer Saandh Ki Aankh’s trailer released. While many had good things to say about it, there was also another section of the society that did not quite take the trailer of the film in good humor!
A huge part of the country felt that Taapsee and Bhumi did not look their parts at all. Therefore, they blamed the makers for not choosing senior actors for the role.

The conversation gained momentum when actress Neena Gupta replied to a Twitter user, saying, “Yes I was just thinking about this hamari umar ke role toe kamsekam humse kara lo bhai” The user in question had suggested Neena’s name alongside Jaya Bachchan’s and Shabana Azmi’s for the Tushar Hiranandani directorial.

All of it gained even more mileage when Rangoli Chandel (sister and manager of actress Kangana Ranaut) replied to Neena’s tweet saying, “Kangana had been offered the role first but she refused it and also accused the makers of sexism and that she also suggested the makers should have used Neena Gupta and Ramya Krishnan for the roles instead of looking for younger actors.

That’s when Taapsee thought of replying everyone - A part of Taapsee’s post read, “Did we ask the same question when we all loved what Anupam Kher did in Saaransh. Did we question when Nargis Dutt played mother to Sunil Dutt? Did we question John Travolta for playing a woman in Hairspray?” The actress further asked, "Did we question when Aamir Khan played a college kid in 3 Idiots? And in future are we going to question Ayushmann Khurrana for playing a gay man in Shubh Magal Zyada Saavdhan?"
