Kirti Kulhari reveals she broke down during Pink promotions after Taapsee Pannu was promoted as the face of the film; says, “It shook me”

Pink, starring Taapsee Pannu, Amitabh Bachchan, Kirti Kulhari, Angad Bedi, Andrea Taraing, Vijay Varma, among others which was a part of one of the most groundbreaking films of the generation as it is a courtroom where three modern, independent women fight for justice against their perpetuators after facing sexual harassment and assault. Recalling the success and love the film received, Kirti discussed how it impacted the entire promotions and also explained how everything had become Taapsee-centric and also revealed that it caused issues between her relationship with the actress.

In an interview with Fever FM, Kirti discussed how the actress received prominence while promoting Pink as she said, “I saw the trailer was mainly filled with Taapsee and Mr Bachchan. That was first jhatka for me because I know what I have done in the film. Shoojit was like, ‘Don’t worry about it, let the film come out.’ I never do PR. I believe my work will be eventually seen.” Furthermore, Kirti Kulhari recalled how in terms of hierarchy, it was Amitabh Bachchan and Taapsee Pannu over her. “However, during the promotions, the PR machinery happened for Taapsee because she came after Mr Bachchan in that film. Eventually, it became her film and she became the Pink girl in terms of positioning and I saw that happening in front of me. This was the first shocker for me because I couldn’t understand this,” she shared.

From being nominated in the position of supporting actress to not being visible during the Pink promotions Taapsee went on to state, “My PR game was zero. It shook me.” Speaking of the impact it had on her relationship with the co-star, Kirti revealed that it did cause a little strain between them. She also mentioned her view point and added, “I think from her side, she didn’t notice this. She has been nice to me but that whole PR game, I took it a little personally.”

After the incident, however, Kirti also pointed out that this did leave an impact as later on, when she did Mission Mangal which also featured ensemble cast, she did assert on having as much visibility as her other co-stars (expect for Vidya Balan). Interestingly, this film too featured Taapsee as one of the girls who was responsible behind India landing on Mars. “I was very clear when I took up Mission Mangal. I told them, apart from Vidya, if I am not given equal positioning as the other girls, I won’t do it. I learnt the positioning game on the job,” she concluded.
