Taapsee Pannu: “Whenever I’m around a sports star I get star struck”

Taapsee Pannu’s much awaited film Shabaash Mithu’s trailer is receiving a lot of love and appreciation from all the corners. This PAN India star has always proven her metal as an actor with her power-packed performances.  With Shabaash Mithu, Taapsee takes the expectations a notch higher  again as she looks convincing in her portrayal of the recently retired legendary crickter Mithali Raj. Taapsee has often depicted her sheer admiration towards sports and her awe and respect towards all the sportspersons. Personally, Taapsee has always been into playing sports and chooses to spend her time playing outdoor rather than resting indoors.

Speaking about her love for sports Taapsee added, “I am starstruck with sports stars. I haven’t seen many movies while growing up until college but I have followed sports since my childhood. So, whenever I see a sports star, I am always starstruck which comes with the huge amount of respect that I have for each one of them. I always ensure that I don’t trespass a line when I have a sports star around me and avoid being my usual chirpy self.”

Shabaash Mithu, directed by Srijit Mukherji and produced by Viacom18 Studios hits theatres on 15th July.
