Mumbai: Taapsee Pannu has finally broken the silence on one of the most controversial topics - the award functions in India.

Recently, the Saand Ki Aankh actor played a fun game called 'What Actors Say VS What Actors Mean' with a member of an entertainment portal.

During the segment, Taapsee was asked about her observation on the much-used statement "I don’t believe in awards."

To which, she replied: "I’m tired of not getting them. See awards are always about a bunch of people, basically the jury members. They decide if the person is best or not. So that can be very subjective because that group of people cannot be the ultimate decision-maker of your career. They cannot decide if you’re good enough or not."

Asked if the validation means anything to her, Taapsee said: "It feels really nice that a bunch of people felt that your performance was the best. And that trophy looks good. But it’s not going to be the validating factor of my career."

"When I didn’t receive an award for Pink, I was probably not someone who’s going to add to any TRP. Or who is worth putting on stage at that point. Probably, I was not a known face that time. So, nobody even bothered. Most of them did not even nominate me. Today random people come to me and recognize me as the 'Pink girl'. I’ve got appreciation and awards for other films after Pink because I was not worth putting out on stage. Now probably I am, so my performances are taken relatively more seriously," she said while speaking about not receiving any award for her performance in Pink.
