‘Forget Fighting, I Can’t Slap A Person In Real Life’

New Delhi: She can be seen doing daredevil fighting scenes and breaking bones in films, but actress Taapsee Pannu says in real life, she can't slap a person.

Taapsee showcased her fighting skills in "Baby" alongside Akshay Kumar. She will next be seen fighting her way in "The Ghazi Attack" and "Naam Shabana". The actress said, "Till now, whatever you have seen, like even though I can identify myself as Meenal Arora (character from 'Pink') in a lot of ways. I cannot even slap a person in real life, forget about fighting the way I do in films."

Taapsee, who is currently promoting her next film "Running Shaadi.com", says this is the first film where she is totally in her comfort zone. "This is my domain and have total control over it. I was chosen because I had to just come as myself on screen. It's a blessing for an actor to portray a character that is everything like herself. I didn't have to put in any kind of efforts in terms of accent, body language or style," said Taapsee, whose character exudes a carefree attitude. "There were a lot of things that I spontaneously added in the film, which were retained in the end. It was the most comfortable character that I could portray on screen," she added.

Shoojit Sircar Would Like To Elope With Meryl Streep

Filmmaker Shoojit Sircar, who is busy promoting his forthcoming production venture "Running Shaadi" - which is about the protagonists helping people run away and get married - says given a chance, he would like to elope with legendary Hollywood actress Meryl Streep. "She is my favourite actress," Sircar said. Not because she is "overrated" - as US President Donald Trump said? "No way. She is one of the finest," Sircar added.

Starring Amit Sadh and Taapsee Pannu and directed by Amit Roy, "Running Shaadi.com" is slated to release on February 17.
