This Women’s Day #ChooseToChallenge says actor Taapsee Pannu and cricketer Mithali Raj. The two of the most inspiring icons of Bollywood and Cricket have come together to share the important message of challenging conventions on international women’s day. With Taapsee all geared up to play Mithali on the silver screen in Viacom18 Studio’s upcoming film, Shabaash Mithu, the duo collaborated to perform powerful prose penned by Priya Aven, writer of Shabaash Mithu.
Taapsee recently took to her Instagram account to share this inspiring video, talking about challenges that a woman should face with all their power and gut. In this women’s day special video, Taapsee and Mithali are encouraging women from all walks of life to stand up, challenge the norm and take charge of their own stories. In one segment, Taapsee says, “Girl, don’t close your eyes, don’t look away, choose to challenge every old fashioned way, on this Women’s day.”
Meanwhile, recently, the actor reacted to a news report by a publication, that referred to Mithali Raj as a ‘former’ Team India cricketer, and slammed them for the error. Taapsee Pannu took to her Twitter account and reacted to a news article about how this lack of awareness about women in sports is exactly why biopics like these should be made.

“You do realise she is still the captain of the Indian women’s cricket team that’s going for the upcoming World Cup. Exactly the reason why this film NEEDS TO BE MADE! ‘Former’!!! #ShabaashMithu,” she wrote. Apart from Shabaash Mithu, Taapsee Pannu will also be seen in Rashmi Rocket and Looop Lapeta. ALSO READ:
