Bollywood actor Taapsee Pannu is unstoppable when it comes to sharing her memories of her personal and professional life while under lockdown. The Thappad actor has relentlessly shared interesting anecdotes along with throwback photos and videos to entertain her fans and followers on social media.

On Wednesday, she shared a photo of the graphic tattoo that she had to maintain as a part of her character Swapna in the 2019 film Game Over, directed by Ashwin Saravanan. She recalled the first day on the sets of the film and captioned the post with her take on the tattoo which became an 'annoying take away' for her.

She wrote, "First day on the set of #GameOver and this tattoo became the annoying take away for me n for everyone who saw the film. I love tattoos personally so I get really excited about getting tattoos done for films but since they r the temporary ones maintaining them becomes a pain especially in the humid Chennai weather. This tattoo actually became my accessory (Since Swapna didn’t wear any accessory anyway 🙄) which was to be handled with a LOT OF care. #Throwback #Archive #QuarantinePost"
