AT FIRST BLUSH
Covergirl Taapsee Pannu speaks about loving her curls, her beau, and herself, and Bhumi Pednekar opens up about her evolving definition of romance.
My hair must stay curly,” firmly announces Brides Today covergirl, Taapsee Pannu. We're discussing the actor entrepreneur's hypothetical wedding, and it appears to be a far cry from the usual grandeur that is synonymous with any Bollywood wedding. The topic of Taapsee's natural curls that have charmed all and sundry (including her 19.2 million fans on Instagram) kicks off our Zoom call on na sultry Friday evening. It is not her locks and looks alone: the fresh-faced actor breaks the ice effortlessly, and what was supposed to be a short, 20-minute call turns into a breezy, hour-long conversation about life, beyond the big day.
It [my hairdo] won't look like I needed a village to get ready, she says, also listing her distaste for heavy make-up and its impact on skin maintenance. Taapsee, who also co-owns an event management company called The Wedding Factory, says her heart feels bad when I see brides with layers and layers of thick make-up on. How do you enjoy looking at yourself when you're a different person in those pictures? wonders the two-time Filmfare Awards winner. “These memories are not just for that moment, they are forever. You don't want to look at those pictures and not recognise yourself, as yourself.
