I was once told to slash my fees because the hero’s previous film didn’t work: Taapsee Pannu on Bollywood's misogynistic attitude

Taapsee Pannu, who has been very open about her experiences in Bollywood, has yet again made a shocking revelation on how she was asked to slash down her fees for a film because the hero's previous movie was a flop. 

She revealed the experience and said “There was a time when I was told the hero’s previous film didn’t work, so you slash your price because we need to control the budget. There was some hero who wanted my introduction scene changed because he felt it would overpower his introduction scene.”

“I had these articles written about me saying how I’m a bad luck charm. I just kept thinking that this is not the end of my life. So what if this didn’t work? I’m an engineer, and I can still do my MBA,” she said.

Talking about hatred on social media, she said, “Social media has generated so much hate, I call it illusional hate. Illusional because it is virtual. I almost teared up with the kind of love those people showered over me in Maldives, It made me realise the difference between virtual and real.”

On the work front, Taapsee just wrapped the Pune schedule of Rashmi Rocket
