Actress Taapsee Pannu is very excited about the release of "Running Shaadi", and says the character she portrays in the movie is similar to her real self."I am very proud of 39Running Shaadi". Dada Shoojit Sircar, who has produced the film gave me 39Pink39 after seeing what I could do in 39Running Shaadi39. I can tell you this without hesitation that my character Nimmi, in this film, is the closest to the person that I am in real life."How?"Like Nimmi, I am a Punjabi, a sardarni. But I am a little wary of the way Punjabi men and women are portrayed in our films. They are always loud, always aggressive, forever singing dancing screaming. Yes, all this is a part of the average Punjabi39s DNA, but all sardars are not boisterous all the time.""A Punjabi woman also has a softer and more gentle side. This, I39ve shown in 39Running Shaadi39."Taapsee39s biggest temptation to do "Running Shaadi" -- which also features Amit Sadh -- was the opportunity to break away from stereotypes."The Punjabi girl I play is different from what we see. The Bihari guy Amit Sadh plays is not the stereotypical Bihari speaking person in the sing-song voice. In fact, when Amit was researching for his character, he met a Bihari gentleman who told him, 39Bihari is not a language. It39s an attitude39.""That one sentence became the basis of Amit39s character. Like I said, this girl in 39Running Shaadi39 is the closest to the kind of person I am, while the girl in 39Pink39 was very different from who I am."The fact that she played a character very close to her heart helped Taapsee a lot in "Running Shaadi"."I took the liberty of asking for changes in scenes and constantly questioning him. Amit Roy the film39s director was very flexible. He was worried about my accent.But I got it right. I had such a ball shooting with the two Amits.""We would shoot for 12 to 13 hours at a stretch, But I never felt the weight of the long hours. That39s the spirit I want to shoot in," she said.Taapsee is confident of scoring a post "Pink" success with "Running Shaadi".
