Taapsee Pannu has recalled instances of sexism on film sets, including a time when a male co-star allegedly changed her scene because he wanted to be in it. "I shot an introduction sequence for a film and I really liked it. In fact, one of the reasons I said yes to the film was that entry scene. Suddenly, they changed the sequence. The hero was given equal footing and a more substantial part in it. It was a very expensive and fancy sequence, and he felt that he also wanted to be a part of it," she recounted.
