Taapsee's grandparents are her inspiration for 'Ghazi'

Sourcing emotions from real life experiences can help an actor achieve greatness on screen.

Taapsee Pannu, who would be playing a refugee in 'Ghazi', has based her role on the real life experiences her Grandparents faced during the partition. Her grandparents hailed from Lahore and their life was uprooted during the partition. Taapsee has grown hearing stories of the hardships they had to face and the obstacles they had to overcome during those dark days. The 'BABY' actress is dedicating her role in 'Ghazi' as a homage to her grandparents and the people who had to leave behind their homes during partition.

'Ghazi' is a war drama which deals with the mysterious sinking of PNS Ghazi, a Pakistan-deployed submarine during the 1971 India-Pakistan war. Her co-star in the movie, Rana Daggubatti, will be seen playing the role of a naval officer on board the Indian submarine.

On the same, Taapsee was quoted saying "Our country's history is very fascinating, especially because my family has seen a lot of it in person. My mother's parents came from Lahore. I have had multiple conversations with them when they were alive about their experience. It was a challenging thing for them to uproot themselves one fine day and restart their life from scratch. I don't think anyone of us can really understand what they went through. It's surely nostalgic to be portraying a refugee after knowing their story."
