The
news
of
former
External
Affairs
Minister
Sushma
Swaraj's
passing
left
the
whole
nation
shocked.
Sushma
Swaraj
was
a
tactful
politician,
hard-working,
and
committed
to
the
progress
of
the
country
which
earned
her
the
name,
'Iron
Lady
of
India'.
When
the
news
of
her
demise
broke
out,
condolence
messages
poured
in
from
Bollywood
celebrities,
who
took
to
their
social
media
to
remember
the
great
leader.
The
impression
that
Sushma
left
on
everyone
is
indelible.
In
a
recent
interview,
Taapsee
Pannu
shared
that
if
she
ever
got
the
opportunity
to
play
Sushma
Swaraj
in
a
biopic,
she
would
never
let
go
of
it.
Knowing
the
kind
of
performances
she
puts
up,
we
are
sure
a
biopic
on
Sushma
will
be
in
good
hands
if
it
ever
lands
up
with
Taapsee.
In
an
interview
with
Navbharat
Times,
Taapsee
said,
"When
I
was
in
school,
I
used
to
stop
when
I
would
see
Sushma
ji
speaking
on
TV.
She
was
a
great
leader
and
a
wonderful
person.
I
am
a
fan
of
Sushma
ji
and
will
always
be." She
further
added,
"I
won't
let
go
of
any
opportunity
to
play
her
on
screen.
Who
wouldn't
want
to
do
a
biopic
on
such
a
great
leader?"
When
Vidya
Balan
was
asked
a
similar
question,
she
said
that
although
it
isn't
the
right
time
to
talk
about
it,
if
a
well-written
script
for
the
biopic
comes
up
in
the
future,
she
would
love
to
be
a
part
of
it.
Paying
her
respects
to
the
great
leader,
Vidya
said,
"Sushma
ji
has
been
a
great
leader.
She
was
strong
and
an
excellent
speaker.
I
met
her
once
briefly
at
an
airport
and
her
influence
was
amazing.
I
have
always
been
a
fan
of
hers.
Sushma
ji's
departure
is
a
big
loss
for
our
country."
Taapsee
and
Vidya
will
both
be
seen
sharing
the
screen
in
the

Mangal.
Co-starring
them
are,
Sonakshi
Sinha,

Taapsee
is
also
set
for
the
release
of
another
film,

Ki
Aankh,
co-starring
Bhumi
Pednekar.
