Taapsee Pannu, in a recent interview, talked about the existence of camps in Bollywood and how she was always prepared to stay relevant in the film industry.
After Priyanka Chopra‘s recent explosive comments about being cornered in Bollywood, Taapsee Pannu too, spoke about the existence of Bollywood camps in a recent interaction with a leading publication.
The Shabaash Mithu actress was quoted as saying by Hindustan Times, “Yes, Bollywood camps isn’t something that people don’t know about. It’s been there since forever. It can be basis an actor’s friend circle, a certain agency or group that they’re a part of and people’s loyalties differ based on that.”
However, Taapsee also pointed out that she doesn’t hold any grudge against the industry folks or blames them for being biased towards outsiders as she feels that everyone should have the right to choose whosoever they want to work with, or have in their films. The actress also added that she doesn’t blame them for thinking about their own careers.
Taapsee told the tabloid that it’s a constant fight for an outsider like her to stay relevant and that she doesn’t make it a ‘bitter’ person as she was always aware about the biased nature of the film industry.
“For me, rule of the game is that it’s going to be unfair. The tide is going to be against you most of the time. And if after all that, you still decide to be a part of this industry, then it’s your choice and you can’t complain about it later,” said the Pink actress who clocked a decade in the industry in April this year.

Taapsee shared, “Forget about this industry… I don’t know of any profession, apart from sports probably, where camp and favouritism does not exist, at least to some extent. The results are fair and square, and proportional to ones talent. It’s not dependent on luck.”
The actress opined that to become a part of this industry, one first needs to get a foot in the door, and then struggle to make their presence felt.
You have to struggle to prove yourself with every film. It’s not like you have one successful film and the next 10 years are sorted for you. It does not happen like that with people who come to this industry with no background. We have to consistently keep doing good work to be able to have a standing of our own,” Taapsee told the news portal.
Meanwhile, Taapsee has some interesting projects in the pipeline which include Phir Aayi Haseen Dillruba, Woh Ladki Hai Kahaan? and Dunki.
