It is evident that portrayal of women in Bollywood films has improved in recent times. While previously they were only considered love interest of the protagonist or damsel in distress, now they are starting to get bold and powerful roles which are significant to the storyline. Taapsee Pannu, Rashika Apte, Bhumi Pednekar are some of the actresses who revolutionized the way actresses are treated in movies.

Recently, Taapsee Pannu was asked to name three actresses who changed the ways of film industry regarding women. Taapsee gave a really thoughtful answer.

She said, "If I have to choose three names who've made the audiences look at female actors seriously then I'll name Vidya Balan, Tabu, and Priyanka Chopra. Vidya because she did such mind-blowing films like The Dirty Picture and Kahaani back-to-back and showed us this is possible. Tabu because she always makes us curious about what she's going to do next and Priyanka because of all that she’s achieved not just here but abroad as well. All three have helped change perceptions about female actors for the better.”

Taapsee will soon be seen in thriller 'Looop Lapeta', sports drama 'Rashmi Rocket' and biopic of Mitali Raj.
