Taapsee Pannu has reacted to Sonakshi Sinha’s recent comment about star kids, or those with perceived privilege, also being kicked out of films, rather like outsiders. Taapsee said that a key difference is that star kids aren’t replaced by those without industry connections, although every actor has likely been thrown out of a project at some point or another.
In an interview, Taapsee agreed with Sonakshi’s point in theory, but observed nuances worth being attentive to. Taapsee, in fact, recently launched her production banner, which she called Outsiders Films.
She told Bollywood Bubble, “Definitely, I feel any actor – star kid or not a star kid – are losing out on films to somebody else. But the factors isn’t that the star kid has lost out on the film because that person is an outsider in order that person got the film, but as outsiders, definitely we’ve lost out on films because someone was there recommending and pushing someone’s name who definitely had those contacts within the industry. and people are mostly star kids, right?”
She added, “I’m not saying they would not have lost out on films, but they would not have lost out on films to outsiders due to the actual fact that they’re outsiders, so is that the difference. But every actor has older a situation where they have been pushed out of a movie. may be star kids or perhaps outsiders.”
In a recent interview with Pinkvilla, Sonakshi admitted to losing out on films and called it ‘part and parcel of the job’. “Of course. Who hasn’t? Like this whole star kid debate is useless because it’s not like no star kid hasn’t lost out on a project thanks to somebody else. But nobody goes around crying about it. It’s okay, sab ke saath hota hai (it happens to everyone). handle it, dude. That’s life. there’s no point talking about spilt milk,” she said.
“Chalo, forget me. My father also, who wasn’t a star kid, has lost out on many projects. It happens to each actor, it’s part and parcel of the task. It’s not something which is so exceptional around new, it happens to everyone and it’s been happening. Like I said, it’s part and parcel of the duty, you progress on along with your life, work flat out and keep at it,” she added.
