Taapsee Pannu however, says she was prepared to face rejection which happens for reasons unrelated to one's acting chops
"Nobody is going to keep giving me chances even after two-three of my films don't do well. I am aware of it and that is why I will not feel safe and secure. I have accepted that. "But inspite of this, whatever little success I have achieved, it is so thrilling and exciting that it keeps me going," she says. Taapsee's work in films like "Pink", "Naam Shabana" and an out-and-out glamorous role in "Judwaa 2" has won her accolades. Calling herself an untrained actor, Taapsee says she has never cleared auditions as she cannot act in an unreal set up.
"Acting is reacting. If you put a camera on me and tell me to say my lines when I don't know the brief and someone else is giving the counter lines in a very lame way, I can't act like this. "On camera, I can do it as there is an ambiance and I have my co-actors and the director has given me the brief," she says. The actor recalls when she had entered the film industry, she thought she would not survive more than 10 years. "I have taken my words back. Today, it doesn't matter what age you are, you are still the hero of the film like Sridevi ma'am. Till the time you are capable of pulling the audience to theatre, you will be around," she says.
