MUMBAI: With Bollywood and music being nothing short of religions in India, Zee TV has brought the best of both worlds with its weekend prime-time offering. The channel’s first-of-its-kind music countdown show called ‘Pro Music Countdown’ is hosted by one of India’s finest RJs, social media influencer and YouTube sensation - Siddharth Kannan. The show presents superhit songs in a never-seen-before chat show format with the hottest Bollywood celebrities getting up close and personal about their career, love lives and everything that’s brewing in B-town!

In the upcoming episode of the show featuring Taapsee Pannu, audience will get a sneak peek into the life of this diva and how she feels about her position in the industry. Actress Taapsee Pannu who is known for her capricious roles and her outspoken approach, shared exactly how passionate she is about the roles she accepts. You may know Taapsee to be a stickler for a great story and immersing herself in the character she plays. Her defining moment in ‘Pink’ followed by multiple other strong and dynamic roles across her projects floored us every time. However, many of us may not be aware of the constant criticism and backlash the actress faces for her roles and even her personal life.

Constantly being labelled as the ‘outsider’, Taapsee is often questioned about keeping away from making friends and connections in the industry. Despite all the rumours that surround her, the actress wears this tag as her strength rather than something to be embarrassed about. She accepted on Pro Music Countdown, “Well, I do know how I am viewed in the industry. But it isn’t something I shy away from. In fact, I am very proud of myself and what I have accomplished despite it all. I shall wear this ‘outsider’ tag as my very own ‘badge of honour’. I feel that somehow it works in my favour. I get to relate with my audience better because of it”.

We all know that the actress has broken boundaries and crossed barriers to set an example and make a name for herself in the industry despite the odds. This confidence portrayed by Taapsee has shed light on the power of self-esteem and willingness to pursue your dreams despite all odds.
