‘They said being 30 was old for rom-coms,’ says Taapsee: ‘You dare say that about Shah Rukh’ | Bollywood News

Taapsee Pannu discussed the ageism and double standards women face in the film industry, highlighting how she is often deemed "too old" for certain roles despite her experience. She stated that younger actresses are preferred over older ones, even when they may not be necessary. Pannu also revealed that she faced similar challenges in the South Indian film industry, noting that younger actors were reluctant to work with her after she starred opposite senior actors. This issue is compounded by pressure on women to maintain a certain body image, as seen in Pannu's recent Instagram post about overworking out and its impact on body composition.
