Like
they
say
'All
that
glitters
is
not
gold'.
Beneath
the
glitz
and
glamourof
the
film
industry,
there
lies
a
harsh
truth
hidden
from
the
world.
Right
from
nepotism
to
the
'infamous'
casting
couch,
the
journey
in
this
industry
is
not
a
bed
of
roses
especially
if
you
don't
belong
to
a
filmy
family
or
have
a
godfather
to
back
you.
Taapsee
Pannu
who
is
gearing
up
for
the
release
of
her
upcoming
film
Naam
Shabana
spoke
about
her
traumatic
experiences
in
the
film
industry
in
a
moving
post
on
the
Humans
Of
Bombay
page
on
Facebook.
Here
are
some
of
her
startling
revelations-
'Failure
Of
Films
Was
Blamed
Upon
My
Bad
Luck'
I
got
into
modelling
during
my
college
days,
just
to
make
some
extra
pocket
money.
I
had
scored
88%
in
my
CAT
exams
and
was
enroute
to
pursuing
my
MBA
when
I
got
an
offer
for
a
film
-
it
happened
as
organically
as
that.
There
after,
three
of
the
films
I
worked
in
didn't
work
and
I
got
the
label
of
'iron
leg'
-
I
was
'rumoured'
to
bring
bad
luck
to
films.
Mind
you,
all
of
these
films
had
huge
male
co-stars
and
directors,
but
the
failure
of
movies
was
blamed
upon
my
bad
luck.
'I
Have
Been
Thrown
Out
Of
Films'
I've
been
asked
to
reduce
my
pay,
I've
been
thrown
out
of
films
because
the
producer
was
having
financial
issues.
This
was
all
before
I
did
the
movie
Pink,
but
believe
it
or
not
even
after
that
there's
stigma
I've
had
to
deal
with.
'Actors
Have
Refused
To
Work
With
Me
In
Bollywood'
Actors
have
refused
to
work
with
me
in
Bollywood,
because
I'm
not
an
'A
list
actress'.
Producers
have
finalised
me,
locked
my
dates
and
then
randomly
backed
out
at
the
last
minute
because
they
got
a
bigger
name.
Expecting
equal
pay
is
far
off,
even
the
basic
amount
is
something
I
have
to
fight
for-
but
I'm
not
complaining.
'I
Don't
Indulge
In
Self-Pity'
I'm
here
because
I
love
acting
-
I
may
not
be
the
most
glamorous,
or
have
the
perfect
body
but
I
believe
in
my
art.
I
don't
like
indulging
in
self
pity...I
enjoy
being
strong
and
independent.
'I'M
Less
Heroine
And
More
The
'Hero' In
My
Story'
Just
a
few
weeks
ago,
I
was
going
to
a
Keertan
in
Delhi
where
in
the
middle
of
the
crowd
I
felt
a
guy
trying
to
poke
me
from
behind.
I
didn't
even
turn
to
look
at
him,
I
grabbed
his
finger
and
twisted
it
so
hard
that
he
winced
in
pain.
Truth
is,
I'm
less
heroine
and
more
the
'hero'
in
my
story
and
for
some
that's
a
bitter
pill
to
swallow,
but
then
that's
tough...
because
I'm
not
going
anywhere."
Apart
from
Naam
Shabana,
Taapsee
will
also
be
seen
opposite
Varun
Dhawan
in
