New Delhi: Everyone wants to know what happens behind the scenes in the glamourous Bollywood parties. Well, Taapsee Pannu recently spilled the beans about the social etiquettes of the bling town which are quite different from those practiced by regular people. In an interaction with The Lallantop, Taapsee opened up about meeting SRK for the first time, about Bollywood parties where actors who attend do not get any gifts for each other. Taapsee spoke about attending Shah Rukh Khan's birthday party and when asked about the gift she chose for him, the actor remarked, "Koi kya hi dega? Shah Rukh Khan ko koi kya hi de sakta hai?( What can you give to SRK, what can anyone give)."
On being asked further, Taapsee said,"Koi kuch nahi deta( no one gives anything)". She explained that she did think about it but her mind stopped working given that what would you give to a man who already has everything.
When the host suggested that she could have given a book as SRK loves to read, she said, "I know, but what kind of books? I don’t know. At that time, you are thinking that whatever I give him, he will be nice and say thank you and keep it but if they don’t like it, they might judge me for it. They might think that she gets these kinds of gifts so you are out there only, so you don’t give anything out of that fear. So I did not get anything."
Taapsee also spoke about a Diwali party at the Bachchan residence and shared that there too, people show up without any gifts. "Vahan pe sab bina gift ke hi jaate hain (Everyone shows up there without any gifts),” she said. So, when the host appeared shocked again, she laughed and said, “Bade hi kanjoos type log hain, but nahi…( Everyone's quite stingy but no..)"
The 'Badla' actor then asked the host if he had seen anyone carry any gifts in paparazzi photos, "Aapne dekhi hogi yeh photos jab aati hain, toh aapne kitno ke hath mein aapne dekhe hain gifts? When the host suggested that their staff members carried the gifts, Taapsee said, "Aisa kuch nahi hota (This does not happen).”
Taapsee also added that lately, she has been getting Diwali gifts for parties but since no one gets anything, she feels left out and leaves the gift in the car only to give it to the host when she is about to leave.
