'Game Over' actor Taapsee Pannu said she feels secure as an actor in the film industry today, but still has miles to go in order achieve her dream of becoming the quintessential Bollywood star. "I'm very secure as an actor, but not as a star. I don't know where will I be sent back to if a couple of my films fail at the box office. But I think that is fine because it keeps me on my toes to find something new. If I start feeling too secure and comfortable, I might just relax, and then keep doing what I'm good at, knowing that it will work. So I think I'm fine with it not being that comfortable. That's the joy of this profession, it keeps you on your toes," Taapsee said.
She added that becoming a star is a work in progress. "I don't identify myself being the star still because I feel the definition of being a star is that people just blindly trust you and spend money at the box office for you. Audiences do that for the Khans, they just go and watch their films blindly."
She also said, "So I’m waiting for the day that happens for me where I consider myself to be a star. Before that, I’m just an actor who is trying to make interesting films. I hope that one fine day people will identify my choices to be worth their time and money."
Taapsee says she will continue to experiment with different roles as she is trying to build a "niche for myself. I think people, in the industry and even outside, now believe that I can pull off good performances. So that way, I’m a little secure because that is not in the question."
