The actress further said, 'When I lived in Delhi, my parents used to be worried about my safety. They used to tell me to call every 15 minutes after 8 pm but the atmosphere in Mumbai is different. The mentality of the people here is very calm. The actress said, 'I consider myself lucky that I never felt unsafe on the set. Neither of us had to face any unpleasant incident. However, I have heard a lot from others.

a terrible childhood memory

Sharing the horrific memories of her childhood, Taapsee Pannu said, 'When I was 15 years old and lived in Delhi, a man tried to touch me inappropriately in public transport.

Said this about trolling

She said that social media is like a double-edged sword that does not allow one to directly connect with their fans. There are many negative comments here which can upset many people. However, I never let these comments dominate me. Taapsee said that she feels that if someone comes online and misbehaves with her and takes her time for her, then she feels that it is important for her.
