On her birthday, we celebrate the powerhouse that Taapsee Pannu is, an actress who has carved a niche with her fearless choices, bold scripts, and unapologetically real performances.
Taapsee Pannu brings grit, grace, and unmatched intensity to every role she plays. Here’s a look at five performances that prove there’s simply no one like her:
1- Pink (2016)
This was the film that changed everything. As Minal, Taapsee delivered a performance so raw, it stirred a nationwide conversation on consent. She brought strength and vulnerability to the screen in equal measure.
2- Thappad (2020)
One of her finest, Thappad proved that Taapsee isn’t just a critical darling, she’s also a box office force. With subtlety and simmering anger, she led a quiet revolution, making space for stories that truly matter.
3- Badla (2019)
Playing a layered character with grey shades opposite Amitabh Bachchan, Taapsee held her ground and kept the audience guessing. It’s rare to see such complex female characters, and she nailed it.
4- Naam Shabana (2017)
A spin-off from Baby, this film gave Taapsee her own action saga, something rarely seen in Bollywood. She brought both physical prowess and emotional depth, paving the way for female-led action dramas.
5- Haseen Dilruba (2021)
With this OTT hit, Taapsee became the first Bollywood actress to headline her own streaming franchise. Her portrayal of a passionate, flawed woman was magnetic.
From courtroom dramas to psychological thrillers and action-packed roles, Taapsee Pannu’s filmography is as diverse as it is daring. She doesn’t follow trends, she sets them. And that’s what makes her truly irreplaceable.
