Barely six years in Bollywood and Taapsee Pannu has managed to bag diverse roles, straddling both commercial and real cinema. She has been part of films like Pink (2016), Judwaa 2 (2017), Mulk (2018) and Manmarziyaan (2018). Pannu is one of the few outsiders, to have managed to create her own space, sans a big banner launch or godfather.

She has a mystery thriller, Sujoy Ghosh's Badla, which has Amitabh Bachchan as co-star, slated for release. So she is in promotion mode with a new bespectacled look. Ask her if it is an endorsement deal and she says, "You will understand it, when you see the film; the glasses go well with my character, Naina Sethi, in the film. I love to get into the screen persona while promoting films. For an actor it is all about getting into character.''
