In the interview, she also spoke about the flak she received when she starred in Varun Dhawan's Judwaa 2, to which she said that the sole reason for her doing so was to show people that she can do that too.

Taapsee Pannu has had a really good year. She started off with the Amitabh Bachchan starrer Badla, which did amazingly well at the Box Office, and the actress also received heavy praise from audiences and critics because of her stint in it. Then, she went on to grace the silver screen with Anurag Kashyap's Game Over.
