Later, while talking about Rishi Kapoor, Taapsee opens her treasure of memories and shares her experience of working with the legend saying, “Rishi Kapoor ji was fun to be around during work. Initially when I met him the first thing he said was “what kind of name is this, Taapsee?’  in jest”.  The beautiful actor further adds, “Rishi ji used to call me a veteran actor after knowing that I have done 10 South Indian films. During the ‘Mulk’ shoot, we shared a great bond and had a good time working together.. I used to call him a bully bag. I used to feel proud listening to the compliments from him. Working with him and getting compliments will always be one of my greatest achievements. I will always flaunt the compliments that I got from Rishi Ji and will remember them.”
