“Whenever I've surprised my audience, I've gained something out of it.” — Taapsee Pannu Quote

“Whenever I've surprised my audience, I've gained something out of it.”

“I didn't know how to act, but I was open to learning. I was not delusional that looks would help me sail through.”

“I am moving towards that zone where I don't want to be a replaceable name. This is my goal. I want to hear from the industry that, 'You are the only one who can do this. We will not go ahead with the project if you don't do this.' And I want to hear from the audience that it is worth watching a film that I have done.”

“My first pregnancy, I gained 75 pounds.”

“I realized that in those nine seasons I started out at about 225 pounds and I felt, you know, full figured fabulous woman but in those seasons I gained 75 pounds up to over 300 pounds all in front of the nation.”

“I did a film a few years ago where I gained a lot of weight for it. I was happy to do that because it was called for in the script.”
