Thappad Will Make You See Things That Were Taken for Granted

in a Relationship, Says Taapsee

Calling domestic violence "an elephant in the room", Bollywood star Taapsee Pannu hopes her film Thappad starts a conversation around the issue."The film is not just about domestic violence. It is just one trigger. There is a dialogue in the film which says 'I can suddenly see all the unfair things that I did not notice earlier'. So Thappad (slap) is a trigger and suddenly you see these things that were taken for granted in a relationship."

We are trying to bring out the elephant in the room. Let's see how many discussions or how many awkward silences are there after people see the film," she added.

"It is like there is a (separate) to-do list for both women and men that is expected from them in a relationship. Who decided this? Did you just blindly follow what was told to you? It is not a mistake of any one person but of everyone as a society that we are trying to normalize it," Taapsee said, adding that her character Amrita questions everyone, including herself, in the process.

It is not that such things happen in those houses where people are uneducated, this happens in educated families as well. It is happening with three women out of five."

"When you are growing up you are told to follow certain things. But with age, as I became independent, I realized I am working as hard as a man of my age and I am earning well, maybe not more, but I can run my house like any other man. So why are rules different for me? I should not do certain things because I am a woman, why? When you start becoming independent, you become confident and start questioning things."
