Taapsee Pannu Hits Back At People For Trolling Her For Playing Older Character In Saand Ki Aankh

While we are super excited to see Taapsee Pannu and Bhumi Pednekar play the roles of the world’s oldest sharpshooters in Saand Ki Aankh, there are a few trollers who simply enjoy tearing other people down. Taapsee and Bhumi were recently trolled for playing characters more than twice their age in the film. People also questioned why older actors were not cast for the role.

In a recent interview, Taapsee Pannu decided to put an end to all such questions, once and for all. She said, “I was pretty surprised and laughed at it thinking, no one questioned me when I played a college girl at 30. Nobody questions when these big actors portray college characters being triple the age. At that time nothing happens.”

"It's so strange that two actresses, at the prime of their careers, decided to look more than double their age, where today an actress always wants to look younger and younger. We decided to look double the age. Instead of appreciating it, people are finding issues with it," she added.

Taapsee revealed that senior actresses were indeed approached for the role but all of them turned down the film because they felt that it was ‘too off beat’. "It might not be mainstream enough for them to do, so they didn't do it. For me, it was a kickass story and I wanted to do it,” said Taapsee.

“I really want to see the same people questioning me when I am going to portray a college girl soon. I'm far away from college now. Then let's see the trolling,” she challenged.
