After a short stint with modeling, Taapsee made her acting debut with the 2010 Telugu film Jhummandi Naadam, directed by Raghavendra Rao. Since then, she has appeared in a number of critically acclaimed films such as Aadukalam, Vastadu Naa Raju, and Mr. Perfect. Her Tamil film Aadukalam won six National Film Awards at the 58th National Film Awards. She has also worked in a Malayalam film and has been signed on for three Telugu films and several Hindi films.
Taapsee worked as a software professional and also pursued a career in modeling before becoming an actress. During her modeling career, she appeared in a number of commercials and won titles such as “Pantaloons Femina Miss Fresh Face” and “Safi Femina Miss Beautiful Skin” in 2008.

On her marriage plans, Taapsee said she has no intention in the “near future”. She also added, “And no I will not go away somewhere to get married when I will decide to marry someone, I will share the news with media, there is nothing to hide about it.”
Taapsee, who has been named brand ambassador of GSK Consumer Healthcare’s Womens Horlicks, which has been designed specifically for women’s nutritional needs, is trying to build cognizance about bone health amongst women through a new campaign by the brand fashioned around the theme of #StandStrong.
“Modelling was my first ever job, so it’s a very nostalgic moment for me to be a part of ‘India’s Next Top Model’. Modelling is not just about being pretty, a perfect model is one who has a blend of tranquility and personality,” Taapsee said in a statement.
Taapse once joined beauty retailer Nykaa’s #BreakTheHashtag campaign. In a video for it, Taapsee celebrates her many roles as a fighter, rebel, engineer, and actor, breaking the stereotype that women are defined by a single role.
“As women, we play a different role every hour of the day. Not only are we a homemaker, wife, sister, daughter, we`re also entrepreneurs, the boss, actors. So let’s just break the hashtag,” the Pink and Naam Shabana actress said in a statement.
With her stunning public appearances that only serve to complement her contributions to the Indian cinema, Taapsee is emerging to be every bit of a Bollywood diva. You may like or dislike her choices but Taapsee Pannu’s romance with fabrics isn’t something that you can ignore.
If you are already appreciating her craft on-screen, here’s another reason to adore the actress and this time, it’s about her expertise beyond the screen that caught our attention. While there’s no doubt that the nine-yard is still ruling the world of fashion, what makes Taapsee’s experiments stand out is her avant-garde take on the same.
Being a woman in the industry, she has also had to deal with fans who couldn’t respect her agency. She recalls a time where a man in a crowd was trying to poke her from behind. Taapsee notes, “I didn’t even turn to look at him, I grabbed his finger and twisted it so hard that he winced in pain.”
In an interview on women empowerment, she boldly stated, “People say women are not as strong as men physically. But it’s not just about how big muscles you have – it’s the brains you use with it, so that balances it out. It’s not just horsepower – it’s how and why you use that power.”
She is not just a gorgeous looking heroine, she is more than that! She is extremely witty, bold and talented. On screen or off screen, she is an inspiration for the generation and faces whatever comes at her boldly! She is also on the list of top paid actresses, check out which position she is in!
