Taapsee Pannu recently revealed that she got into Bollywood due to her resemblance with Preity Zinta. She shared that she was brought into the industry because of being similar in looks to Preity and that she had to live up to that expectation. 

Taapsee revealed, “Many thought that I was a new version of Preity Zinta. That was the reason I got offers in Bollywood… She has a very positive energy, and you know it better than me because you must have interacted with her more. I have only seen her on TV or the big screen. I think the category of Preity Zinta is someone who can be lively and be with brains. I felt like I had to live up to that reputation for which they brought me into the industry… because of her name. So, I always put in some effort to be like her.”

The actress was last seen in Rajkumar Hirani’s Dunki where she shared screen space with Shah Rukh Khan, Vicky Kaushal and Boman Irani. Taapsee will be seen next in the sequel, Phir Aayi Hasseen Dillruba where she will share screen space with Vikrant Massey and Sunny Kaushal.
