Taapsee Pannu reveals the meaning of her Pink movie tattoo

Actress Taapsee Pannu stole hearts across Tamil Nadu in 2010 in director Vetri Maaran's National Award-winning film, Aadukalam, opposite Dhanush after which she went on to star in ventures namely Vandhaan Vendraan, Arrambam, Kadhai Thiraikathai Vasanam Iyakkam, Kanchana 2, Vai Raja Vai and last year's Game Over, which was a bilingual made also in Hindi.

A highly popular name in South India having starred in Tamil and Telugu films, Taapsee became a nationwide sensation after starring in the 2016 courtroom drama, Pink, alongside Amitabh Bachchan. The film remade in Tamil as Nerkonda Paarvai with Ajith and Shraddha Srinath and set to come out soon in Telugu as Vaakel Saab with Pawan Kalyan revolved around three young women who become victims to physical and sexual assault. Playing the character named Minal Arora, who is a free-spirited and independent woman, Taapsee delivered a knockout performance with fans raving her act to this date.

An interesting aspect about Taapsee's character, Minal, in Pink, was that she sported a flock of birds flying away as a tattoo on her neck. Four years on, Taapsee has now revealed on Instagram about the planning that went into getting the tattoo for the character while also adding why she can't get a new one on the nape of her neck where she wants it owing to her profession as an actress.

Taapsee's statement along with her Pink trial tattoo picture on Instagram is as follows: "The first tattoo trial of Pink. The idea was to find a design which resonates with the situation of Minal. A bird who wants to open her wings and fly. A bird who comes in her own elements by the end of it all. It was a pleasant surprise for me to know that post the film’s release there were many girls who reached out to tattoo artists to get the similar tattoo done on them. I am myself a tattoo loving person provided it’s something that is attached to the person’s personality and not just a random design. I have 2 tattoos on me and had it not been this acting profession I would’ve probably gotten a third one on the nape of my neck by now 😑 #Throwback #Archive #QuarantinePost".
