During the heart-to-heart interview, the actress shared how she convinced her parents to allow her to try her hand at modelling and also shared the incident that later on made her realise that it was not her thing. Recalling the incident, Taapsee revealed that she had participated in the Miss India beauty pageant in 2008 and was one of the 28 girls shortlisted from different states of India. Despite not working as a model and having no experience walking on the ramp, it was a huge feat for Taapsee to get shortlisted. Opening up about the same, she said:
"I remember that all the other women were professional models. I had only done photoshoots. I hadn’t done television commercials, I hadn’t walked the ramp, because those shows used to happen at night, and my father wouldn’t let me go."
