Shikhar Dhawan’s debut talk show, ‘Dhawan Karenge,’ has become the talk of the town after its incredible success featuring Bollywood superstar Akshay Kumar and comedic sensation Bhuvan Bam. Streaming on JioCinema Premium, this week’s star guest is the vibrant and energetic diva Taapsee Pannu, and MissMalini has got some exclusive insights about her life and early days in Bollywood.

During a candid conversation, she opened up about looking up to the captivating Preity Zinta, who is also well-acquainted with Shikhar Dhawan.

I was first brought into Bollywood because I share a resemblance with Preity Zinta. She has a very good energy, and you know it well. The aura of Preity ma’am is very lively, and she seems very intelligent. I felt like I had to live up to her reputation as I was brought into the industry because of her name. So, I always put in an effort to be like her.

To witness the entertaining interaction between Taapsee and Shikhar, tune in to ‘Dhawan Karenge’ on 17th June, exclusively on JioCinema Premium
