Taapsee Pannu is among those actors who did not get everything on a platter and her life has been full of ups and downs. She recalled her initial years and shared her family's experiences during the 1984 anti-Sikh riots. Although she was not born at that time and her parents got married in 1986, her father witnessed certain horrifying incidents. However, she feels that her family was fortunate as they did not have to bear the losses during the time like many others.

In an exclusive conversation with ANI, she shared, "My parents got married in '86. So this was before that. And they were thankfully much better than a lot of others who went through what they went through. My mom fortunately didn't see any of the riots. Even though she was in Delhi only. She was in the Yamuna Paar area. My dad was in Shakti Nagar and he did see it. But I mean they burnt the car and all of that. But it was not like this bad that they lost their entire thing. No, it didn't really... We were one of those fortunate ones who didn't get affected that adversely. My dad saw it on the doorstep."
