Taapsee Pannu Reveals She Never Dreamt Of Being An Actress; Says ‘I Always Thought I Cannot Pretend’

One of the most bold and beautiful actresses of Bollywood, Taapsee Pannu is currently riding high on the success of her latest release Thappad. She won many hearts with her portrayal of a woman who files for divorce after her husband slaps her. Well, this is not the first time that the beauty has impressed audiences with a character and her acting. In fact, her performance in films like Saand Ki Aankh, Manmarziyaan and Pink would make you feel that she’s a born star. However, Taapsee never even dreamt of being an actress.

In a recent chat with TOI, Taapsee revealed, “I never cherished or even had a dream of becoming an actress in the first place. I never had that moment where I looked into the mirror and said, ‘Main Madhuri Dixit Banna Chahti Hoon’. I was brought up in a middle-class family where everything was about academics. I used to play a lot of sports. The film world didn’t feature anywhere in my life because parents did not watch a lot of films. I was never taken to watch a cinema during my school time. I only saw Chota Chetan as it was part of my holiday homework.”

She went on to add, “I genuinely enjoyed studying. Also because I always thought I cannot pretend. Whatever is there on my mind was on my face. I could never even lie because my parents would see my face and figure out I was lying.”

Well, we sure are glad that the actress decided to venture into the entertainment industry because we love watching her shine on the big screen.
