The Delhi-set emotional thriller also stars megastar Amitabh Bachchan.
"It ('Pink') was easiest because I belong to this place (Delhi) and difficult because it (subject) was heart-wrenching," Taapsee said at the trailer launch of "Pink" here.
"The two months that I was shooting for the film I was not doing anything else except this movie. I had a breakdown on the sets as well. I started feeling for my character. It was extremely impactful. It did affect me personally and was very challenging," she said.
"I did 'Baby' and now 'Pink'... That perception (of cute and bubbly) changed. I don't think people today look at me as cute and bubbly Taapsee. It will be a landmark film in my career."
The actress said she feels grateful towards Shoojit for casting her in the movie, giving her a golden opportunity to act alongside Bachchan.
"The fact that I got to work with Mr Bachchan so early in my career and with Shoojit Sircar is great. It was fun working with Mr Bachchan. I am thankful to Shoojit for having me in this film. He gets the best out of you," she said.
Directed by Bengali filmmaker Aniruddha Roy Chowdhury, "Pink" will release on September 16.
There were reports that Taapsee will be seen in a prequel to "Baby".
To this the actress said, "Wait for Neeraj Pandey (director of 'Baby') to announce it.
