Recently, the Income Tax department carried out a raid in the Taapsee Pannu and Anurag Kashyap’s properties.
As per reports, Taapsee was questioned by the IT officials in Pune. After she got her phone back, Taapsee made several tweets talking about the sudden event. It was in connection to tax evasion by Phantom Films.
In an interview with Times of India Taapse said , “I was not available for a few days, but I was pretty much fine during that time. My family is okay, too. They’re also asking me the same question, ‘Are you fine?’ And in return, I am asking them that, too. It’s like we know something has happened, but we don’t know what we are supposed to feel about it because we’re just fine.” She also spoke about women taking higher offices now and stated that it will only grow. She mentioned the patriarchal system and the need to get rid of it.
Taapsee was quoted saying, “The numbers have increased quickly and drastically. It will only grow exponentially from here. The only hindrance we have to fight, is ourselves. It’s the deep-rooted conditioning, stemming from patriarchal systems that we need to get rid of. It’s been normalised for generations. It affects how we think. The job of any DOP (director of photography) is heavy-duty, as they have to stand on the set all day.”
She gave the example of the DOP of her upcoming film Rashmi Rocket, Neha Parti Matiyani, carried out the shoot when she was pregnant. Taapsee called her a ‘Rockstar.’
