Recently, Bollywood actor Taapsee Pannu was having a chit-chat with a leading entertainment portal, and during the course of which, there was a section called 'What actors says vs What actors mean'. During the fun-section, she answered for 'I don't believe in awards'. The actor explained that when she said 'I don't believe in awards', she meant she is tired of not getting them. Read on to know how she explained it with her 2016's critically acclaimed film Pink.
Taapsee Pannu's take on awards
Interestingly, when asked what the actors mean when they say 'I don't believe in awards', Taapsee Pannu said that they mean they are tired of not getting them. Further, she said that awards are about a bunch of people, basically, the jury members, who decide if the person is the best or not. The Saand Ki Aankh actor said that it feels nice that a bunch of people felt that an artist's performance was the best. But it’s not going to be the validating factor of an actor's career as these awards do not assure that an individual has learned acting.
In the same interview, the Badla actor said that giving awards are subjective because a group of people cannot be the ultimate decision-maker of an artist's career. The jury cannot decide if an artist is good enough or not. Later, she mentioned that she did not receive any award for her performance in Pink. The 32-year-old actor said that she bagged appreciation and awards for other films after Pink. Elaborating more for not getting any award for Pink, she said according to her maybe she was not a known face or worth putting on stage at that time. But today random people, who cross her way, recognise her as 'Pink girl'.
