Every year, there is an instance of an actor’s performance being sidelined, and hence omitted from the award lists. Taapsee Pannu’s restrained performance in Pink went completely unawarded this year. Commenting on the omission, Tapsee says, “My performance in Pink has gone unrecognised by all the awards functions this year. So let’s not point fingers at any one awards organiser. I am used to being ignored at awards. My aim is to become a favourite among the audiences. Awards are not as important as audiences’ approval of the work I’m doing.”
Pink has been ignored at all the major categories of the just-concluded Filmfare awards as well. Tapsee says, “I think Pink has proved what it had to. No award can further endorse its message. If Pink is not given awards, our achievement is not diminished in any way. The awards can’t equal the numbers of hearts that we’ve touched.”
Tapsee’s Baby co-star Akshay Kumar isn’t new to being sidelined at these events either. To which, Tapsee responds nonchalantly, “I don’t want to think about awards and waste my time. I am busy working hard so that my films become successful. This is more important to me than these awards. I am sure Akshay Sir feels the same way.”
