Taapsee Pannu said she didn’t mind the negative reviews, but was affected when Haseen Dillruba was criticized. She also said that she made peace with the fact that not everyone would be happy with her or like her movies.

In an interview with Hindustan Times, Taapsee Pannu explained why she reacted to some criticism of her recent Netflix movie, how playing such characters affects her mentally, and more.

Here are some excerpts from the interview:

You reacted strongly to some negative reviews of Haseen Dillruba. Isn’t the film a subjective piece of art that can impact different people differently?

Of course, of course he can. None of my movies have ever received unanimous good reviews and I can tell you that because I have read all the reviews of all of my movies to date. Some have unanimously received terrible reviews. I don’t think anyone has seen me react until now. Criticism doesn’t bother me, I made a career out of it. If you go back and read the reviews of my movies, there are things that might make a person quit. But I took it all in my stride and worked on myself. I talked about this – I was not familiar with my job, I learned it over time, while I was at work. I don’t take myself too seriously, but I do take my job very seriously. You can laugh at me, but not at my work ethic. I’ve heard nasty things about me, but it comes with the job (which I do). I made my peace with her (the review) ten years ago.

The other thing that appalled me was the feminist purpose of film reviews. Don’t make out one or two scenes and do the whole movie on them. Don’t tell me you’ll tell the character what she should have done. The idea of ​​feminism is, you don’t tell a woman what to do, it’s the female version of mansplaining! Kanika Dhillon (Haseen Dillruba’s writer) and I, with the kind of filmography I have, wouldn’t do anything against women. See the movie as a movie.

Tell us about the transition you go through when entering and exiting your characters?

Both are slightly delicate. Before Pink, I had never made films that could impact me in such a way. After Pink, I was mentally deranged. We shot for 30-32 odd days and (like you’ve been assaulted for so long) every day for 12 hours. Whether you like it or not, you wake up feeling like you’ve been there (molestation). I became so vulnerable that I started to cry because of things like… .. looking at a beggar made me cry. Probably a national anthem on TV, something as basic as that (made me cry). I have become so vulnerable. I had to log out, go see my family and make myself believe that this hadn’t happened (actually) and that it was just a movie.

My personal wardrobe, my dress style changes a lot after each movie. I end up leaving a part of me real with each character. There is a part of me that changes forever with every movie. This is the price I pay (for my art). There is no other way that I know of. I only know this way of forcing my brain to believe that I am this character, going through all of this. Now I got used to it. This is just one aspect of the job I made my peace with.

Your characters in Badla and Haseen Dillruba were particularly flawed.

I have portrayed imperfect characters in Manmarziyan and Badla but Rani was a totally different grain. The only thing similar (between Taapsee Pannu and Rani Bhatia, his character Haseen Dillruba) was that they are from Delhi. I am not that person who uses sensuality for herself. I don’t have this ‘ada’ (style). I’m not someone who will intimidate my man into getting my way.

I am more Rumi (from Manmarziyan) than Rani. And, I’m not that plasticine. This idea of ​​romanticizing the idea of ​​love does not come naturally to me. I am the most unromantic person, in all my relationships my man has always been more romantic than me. Rani made me aware of my sexuality and my sensuality in my own body that I did not know. I have never used it, neither in professional nor personal life. Now I am a little more aware of my feminine side.
