She pointed out how actresses are frequently considered “too old” for certain roles once they cross their 30s, even when age is not relevant to the character being portrayed on screen.
She continued, “Even in the South, it used to happen with me. The moment I was cast opposite a relatively senior actor, the younger actors didn’t want to work with me. They were like, ‘Oh no, she’s been opposite that actor, so now…’ You dare say that about Shah Rukh Khan. You know, an actress’s life changes after working with Shah Rukh Khan. So that taboo is not here, but that taboo was there for me when I worked in the South.”
Meanwhile, Taapsee was last seen in Anubhav Sinha’s Assi, along with Kani Kusruti, Revathy, Manoj Pahwa, Kumud Mishra and Mohammed Zeeshan. The actress will next be seen in Woh Ladki Hai Kahaan and Gandhari.
