Taapsee
Pannu
is
a
force
to
be
reckoned
with
in
the
Hindi
film
industry.
The
actress
has
been
breaking
boundaries
of
mainstream
Bollywood
cinema
since
her
2016
film
Pink.
Although
she
has
received
much
critical
acclaim
for
her
performances,
she
has
not
received
the
same
recognition
at
award
shows.
Taapsee
says
that
her
heart
broke
only
once
when
she
didn't
receive
a
much
deserved
award,
and
that
was
for
Pink.
That
experience
broke
something
in
her
but
nothing
has
shook
her
after
that.
Hindustan
Times
quoted
Taapsee
as
saying,
"The
only
time
my
heart
broke
and
that
pinch
of
not
getting
awards
was
in
2016
when
Pink
released.
I
was
not
nominated
(for
awards)
and
even
in
couple
of
places
where
I
was
nominated
I
didn't
win
when
everyone
I
met
was
raving
about
the
film
and
my
performance.
So
much
so
that
Shoojit
Sircar
said
get
your
clothes
stitched,
you
are
going
to
win
all
the
awards."
It
was
only
this
year
that
Taapsee
won
her
first
Filmfare
Award
for
Best
Actress
(Critic's
Choice),
for
her
performance
in
Saand
Ki
Aankh.
She
continued,
"A
girl,
who
was
relatively
new
to
the
film
industry
at
that
point,
did
pin
a
lot
of
hopes
and
when
it
didn't
happen
that
year,
it
did
break
something
in
me.
After
that,
nothing
shook
me
further.
Now
when
I
get
awards,
I
am
thankful
to
the
jury,
critics
have
been
especially
kind
to
me
but
now
that
heartbreak
doesn't
happen."
Taapsee
is
gearing
up
for
the
release
of
Thappad,
a
film
directed
by
Anubhav
Sinha.
The
film
has
been
grabbing
the
headlines
ever
since
its
trailer
first
dropped,
and
early
reviews
have
been
hailing
the
film
saying
it's
'much
needed'
and
praising
Taapsee
for
her
performance.
Thappad
challenges
the
so-called
small
acts
of
domestic
violence
which
are
brushed
under
the
carpet.
The
film
hits
the
screens
on
February
28.
