Taapsee has won the Filmfare Award and we cannot stop hyping about it!

Taapsee Pannu is undoubtedly one of the finest and exceptional actresses of the film industry. She swiftly molds herself into any role and has a wide record of experimenting with different roles which need intense preparation. Now she has rightfully won the Filmfare award for best actress for her splendid performance in Thappad. Taapsee has won in this category in spite of very tough competition as actresses like Deepika Padukone (Chhapaak), Vidya Balan (Shakuntala Devi), Janhvi Kapoor (Gunjan Saxena: The Kargil Girl), and Kangana Ranaut (Panga) who were nominated for the same category.

In a recent interview with Taapsee, she had a lot to say after winning the prestigious award. She expresses, "Like I said on the stage while receiving my award: see the list of nominees this year was more overwhelming because of the kind of names and performances up there; all of the actresses nominated were leads of women-driven films. It was heartening to see how far we have come from the times when Best Actress nominations consisted of actresses in hero-driven films, in which they had only a handful of scenes."

While speaking about her potential ultimately being appreciated by the film industry, Taapsee added, "The acknowledgment from jury members, comprising of people I might not even know, tells me that finally the industry is waking up to my presence and validating that I am good. It is an acknowledgment of an actor's hard work."
