Taapsee Pannu Responds to Kirti Kulhari’s Claims of Being Sidelined During ‘Pink’ Promotions

Pannu expresses surprise and empathy towards Kulhari’s feelings of being overlooked during the 2016 film’s promotional activities.

In a recent interview, actress Taapsee Pannu addressed co-star Kirti Kulhari’s remarks about feeling marginalized during the promotional campaign for their 2016 film, ‘Pink’. Kulhari had previously expressed that the film’s promotions predominantly featured Pannu and Amitabh Bachchan, leaving her feeling sidelined despite her significant role.

Responding to these claims, Pannu expressed surprise and empathy, stating she was unaware of Kulhari’s feelings at the time. She emphasized that had she known, she would have addressed the issue directly to ensure a more inclusive promotional approach.

Pannu also clarified that while she and Kulhari may not share a close personal bond, their professional relationship has remained unaffected. The two actresses collaborated again in the 2019 film ‘Mission Mangal’, where Pannu maintained a professional rapport with all her co-stars.

‘Pink’, directed by Aniruddha Roy Chowdhury and produced by Shoojit Sircar, is a courtroom drama that follows the story of three women fighting for justice after a traumatic incident. The film received critical acclaim for its powerful narrative on women’s rights and consent, with strong performances from the entire cast

Kulhari’s recent reflections shed light on the challenges actors may face during film promotions, especially when multiple leads are involved. Pannu’s acknowledgment of Kulhari’s feelings highlights the importance of open communication and mutual respect among co-stars to ensure a harmonious working environment.
