Taapsee Pannu says she was replaced in a number of films because she has no godfather or connections in the film industry.<\/p>\n

The 30-year-old actor, however, says she was prepared to face rejection which happens for reasons unrelated to one\u2019s acting chops.<\/p>\n

\u201cI used the same hand to pat my back and to pick me up when I get shattered after losing out on a film due to reasons except your credibility to that role.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is not a shocker to me that a film went out of my hands, not because I was not credible, but because I was not so-and-so\u2019s daughter or sister or dating so-and-so,\u201d Taapsee told PTI.<\/p>\n

\u201cI have got replaced. I am moving towards that zone where I don\u2019t want to be a replaceable name. This is my goal. I want to hear from the industry that, \u2018you are the only one who can do this, we will not go ahead with the project, if you don\u2019t do this\u2019…. And I want to hear from the audience that, \u2018it is worth watching a film that I have done.\u2019 I am slowly heading towards that,\u201d she adds.<\/p>\n

Being an outsider, Taapsee says she is aware that she might not get a second chance to prove her credentials if her films fail to enthrall the audience.<\/p>\n

\u201cNobody is going to keep giving me chances even after two-three of my films don\u2019t do well. I am aware of it and that is why I will not feel safe and secure. I have accepted that.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut in spite of this, whatever little success I have achieved, it is so thrilling and exciting that it keeps me going,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n

Taapsee\u2019s work in films like \u201cPink,\u201d \u201cNaam Shabana\u201d and an out-an-out glamorous role in \u201cJudwaa 2\u201d has won her accolades.<\/p>\n

Calling herself an untrained actor, Taapsee says she has never cleared auditions as she cannot act in an unreal set up.<\/p>\n

\u201cActing is reacting. If you put a camera on me and tell me to say my lines when I don\u2019t know the brief and someone else is giving the counter lines in a very lame way, I can\u2019t act like this.<\/p>\n

\u201cOn camera, I can do it as there is an ambiance and I have my co-actors and the director has given me the brief,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n

The actor recalls when she had entered the film industry, she thought she would not survive more than 10 years.<\/p>\n

\u201cI have taken my words back. Today, it doesn\u2019t matter what age you are, you are still the hero of the film like Sridevi ma\u2019am. Till the time you are capable of pulling the audience to theatre, you will be around,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
