Taapsee
Pannu
has
always
been
unapologetic
about
the
choices
she
has
made
in
her
career.
In
the
last
few
years,
the
actress
has
taken
up
many
women-centric
films
and
earned
rave
reviews
for
it.
However,
there
is
a
section
of
critics
who
feel
that
she
might
soon
get
typecast
as
an
actress
essaying
only
strong
women
characters.
Taapsee
in
her
recent
chat
with
writer-director
Nikhil
Taneja
at
the
ongoing
India
Film
Project
opened
up
on
this
and
said
that
she
is
fine
with
this
typecast
as
she
prefers
these
roles
over
"vulnerable"
women
who
have
no
agency.
The
actress
emphasized
that
she
won't
take
up
a
weak
character
just
to
please
the
critics.
"If
this
is
a
stereotyping,
that
every
film
of
mine
is
going
to
have
a
strong
woman
character
who
is
going
to
stand
up
for
herself,
I
am
perfectly
fine
with
that
stereotyping.
That's
one
stereotype
I
don't
mind.
I
will
not
portray
a
meek,
weak,
just
pure
vulnerable
character
who
has
no
strength
of
her
own
only
to
satisfy
the
critical
opinion
of
a
few.
I
don't
care," Taapsee
told
Nikhil.
Further
the
actress
admitted
that
she
gets
appalled
when
film
critics
offer
her
career
advice
and
also
call
her
out
for
picking
up
strong
female
roles.
Not
the
one
to
mince
her
words,
she
said
that
she
won't
play
a
meek
character
just
to
satisfy
the
critics'
ego.
Pannu
said,
"I
get
appalled
when
critics
try
to
give
me
career
choices
in
the
movie
reviews.
They
say,
'Oh
she
should
do
these
kinds
of
films,
she
is
doing
too
many
strong
women
characters.
Sorry
but
there
is
nothing
like
'too
much
of
strong
women
characters'.
You
wait
and
see,
in
every
film
I
will
come
back
with
strong
women
characters.
You
don't
like
it,
don't
watch
it.
But
I
am
not
going
to
play
a
meek
character
just
to
satisfy
your
critical
ego."
Further
during
the
course
of
the
conversation,
the
Rashmi
Rocket
star
said
that
she
is
amused
that
men
get
away
by
playing
the
same
"stereotypical"
character
but
women
like
her
are
often
pulled
up
for
attempting
it.
"I
want
to
be
that
person
on
screen
who
eventually
the
audience
wants
to
root
for.
And
for
that,
I
need
to
have
a
certain
kind
of
strength
and
standing.
We
have
been
seeing
male
actors
have
that
(strength),
being
a
hero
in
every
film,
but
we
don't
mind
them
being
that.
But
now
that
I
am
doing
films
back
to
back
which
showcases
women
who
have
their
own
mind
and
strength
and
a
no-nonsense
attitude,
that
is
a
problem,
a
stereotype.
Till
now
you
have
been
ok
with
men
doing
it," Taapsee
shared
her
thoughts
during
the
discussion.
Speaking
about
Taapsee's
upcoming
projects,
the
actress
has
some
interesting
films
lined
up.
This
includes
Looop
Lapeta,
Dobaaraa,
Blurr,
Shabaash
Mithu
and
Woh
Ladki
Hai
Kahan.
