Taapsee Pannu has proudly worn the badge of being an outsider in the film industry. While her career has had many ups and downs, Taapsee has made sure that she does not stop experimenting in her film choices. She has also been quite vocal about the level of competition in the movie industry and how an outsider, who has no connection to the movie business, faces a harder time in establishing themselves.
Talking to ANI on the sidelines of the release of her Netflix film, Phir Aayi Hasseen Dillruba, Taapsee was asked about forming a clique of sorts in Hindi cinema. The actor, without missing a beat, responded that it is a need of the game, and said, “One thing that is really good about kids who come from film families, the so-called nepotism products is that they stay together, stick together, and support each other.”

Throwing more light on this observation, Taapsee said that this is one quality that is not often found in the people who have made their place in Hindi cinema despite being rank outsiders. “I feel we are so used to hustling, struggling, and racing ahead of each other. Of course, we are respectful of each other, share congratulatory messages, etc…” says the Baby actor, quickly pointing out that the vibe of ‘no matter what, I’ll be there’ is missing in the tribe of outsiders. “Irrespective of the quality of the film or its success, they stick to each other. That is not there in us, outsiders.”
Trying to elucidate the logic behind this thinking, Taapsee opined, “I think, somewhere deep down, we will all keep feeling insecure with each other. The level of insecurity is more than what the industry kids have.” She goes on to point out that the cinema people from film families have each others’ back, and recommend each other for projects, etc… “There is a unity of sorts. And that is one thing that we can definitely emulate.”
