Taapsee Pannu reveals it pinched her when she did not win an award for Pink

Actress Taapsee Pannu is gaining accolades after her performances gearing up to knock down the audience with her upcoming film Thappad, directed by Anubhav Sinha, which releases in theatres this week.

The actor has impressed audiences with her performances in many of her films so far but has had hard luck in case of award show juries. In an interview with a leading daily, Taapsee revealed that even though she craves only for the audience's validation for her performance, there had been a time when she was crushed for not receiving the recognition that she deserved.

The actor was relatively new in the industry when she hoped for an award for her performance in the Shoojit Sircar film Pink.  “The only time my heart broke and that pinch of not getting awards was in 2016 when Pink released. I was not nominated (for awards) and even in a couple of places where I was nominated I didn’t win when everyone I met was raving about the film and my performance. So much so that Shoojit Sircar said get your clothes stitched, you are going to win all the awards,” Taapsee said.

 She revealed that it had pinched her when her hopes were shattered after she didn't win an award despite rave reviews for her acting.
