Taapsee slams Star Kids

During an interview with a leading daily, Taapsee revealed that even after becoming a star in South-Indian films she had a hard time finding herself a home in Mumbai. 'As a single person in Mumbai, I had trouble finding houses. Nobody wanted to give their apartment to a single working girl, that too an actress. They said things like, Struggling actors aajaate hain aur unke paas paise nahin hote hain'. I had the toughest time trying to convince them that I had the money to pay my rent, she said.

When asked if she ever regretted her choice of becoming an actor, she said, 'On camera, I am in heaven, I love my job. That's what keeps me going. Off camera, there are things that I feel yenahin

Talking about much talked about industry nepotism, the actor said, "There are so many times our presence is not valued as much as a star kid's presence even though they haven't earned that space which people like us have slogged for. We have worked from scratch to be where we are. Despite that, we are very easily taken out of a project, and that hurts.''

Luckily for her, the actress has made good friends in both the South film industry as well as in Bollywood, something that she has worked on. Talking about her co-star Akshay Kumar, she said, ' Akshay Sir, whenever he meets me anywhereis so warm and encouraging. Poori film bana di mere liye and he himself took a backseat, so what more can I ask for?

hoga mujhse this is not something I can do. The struggle is harder when you don't come from a film family. Sometimes you get rejected just because you don't come from an influential background so that kind of breaks your heart a lot of times. At that time to pick yourself up is difficult. In such times you think kahan aa gaye, ya kyun aa gaye.''

@red : This makes sense... I am sure all outsiders have gone through this at some point in their career.
