When asked to name three actresses of recent times who have helped make the industry better for females actors, Taapsee 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.

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.”
