Woah! The Most Powerful Woman Of The Year Award goes to Taapsee Pannu

Actress Taapsee Pannu is becoming a rage slowly and steadily with her movies and performances. She has been honoured with the Most Powerful Woman Of The Year Award. After giving some spectacular performances in movies like ‘PINK’ and ‘Naam Shabana’, she has advocated women empowerment strongly and she is a clear winner for this award.

Now, in a statement, the actress has expressed her excitement and happiness on being honoured with the award. She said, “It’s always nice and overwhelming when you are recognised not only for your craft but for your choices as a person and what you stand for. These awards make a special place in achievements because they help to gain confidence and show that you are on the right track.” (Also Read: Taapsee opens up about wage gap in the industry, and her take is different)

She further said, “We should start with equality in education, where you have the right to say something, to stand for something which you believe in. Feminist isn’t someone who is going to ask for a reservation or extra rights or an edge over the other gender… No, that’s not called feminism. It’s someone who works towards gender equality.” She also spoke about how staying grounded is very important in life. Said Taapsee, “I would like to thank those people who are from outside the film industry, those who have supported me and brought in me the sense of being a common woman. That is very important because when you are an actor, you can lose the sense of reality. You have to be very real, very grounded and very normal and that’s where my family and friends stepped in. I think because of their support, I wasn’t scared to fall… That’s why I kept on taking one risk after the other, that’s my backbone.”

Congratulations Taapsee! Meanwhile, she will next be seen in ‘Judwaa 2’ which also stars Varun Dhawan and Jacqueline Fernandez in main roles. The movie is all set for release on September 29, 2017.
