Taapsee gets special vanity van (Movie Snippets)

Taapsee Pannu considers her vanity van her "second home", and so she has customised her new van to her taste.

The actress, who is busy shooting back-to-back films, said in a statement: "It is our second home and that is a major reason and I was really happy when it got delivered to me. Recently, I have done films where I have got drained out; you really want to have your own space.

"The first thing you do when you enter the set is you enter the van and that somewhere triggers your mood and your day. I wanted my van to be very pleasant and give me positive vibes because that's where I start my day."

Taapsee's last on screen outing was "Judwaa 2". She will next be seen in Anubhav Sinha's "Mulk" and in Shaad Ali's next with Diljit Dosanjh.
