“Sad to see people value thrill over their lives,” says Taapsee Pannu

‘Baby’ actress Taapsee Pannu, who is currently shooting for Prakash Raj’s Bollywood directorial debut ‘Tadka’ in Goa will once again be seen riding a bike for her film.

This fearless actress has always been open to trying new stuff and was stunned to see how people gave a damn about road safety. Seeing how irresponsible the people are especially in places like Goa, Taapsee has decided to team up with a friend of hers to boost awareness about responsibility and road safety. Her friend, who runs a NGO in Delhi, works for spreading awareness about condemning – drinking and driving.

According to collective data, about 350 people die every day on India`s roads – more than any other country – with those under 18 and two-wheeler riders most vulnerable. Looking at all these issues, Taapsee says,” For the longest time I couldn’t own a bike in spite of knowing how to ride a bike because it wasn’t safe to ride a bike and I totally agree to it. I have seen a couple of accidents happening in front of me in Delhi, Mumbai and Goa. So sad to see people value thrill over their lives. I wish I can influence people’s mind in a good way where safety on roads is concerned“.

Taapsee plans on becoming the new face for a No Drink and Drive awareness campaign and is spearheading the effort to make a real difference.
