In the photo, Taapsee looks cute as she stands on a podium after winning first position in the race. Dressed in all white uniform with two ponies tied in ribbon, Taapsee is looking straight into the camera. ''Sports have been an integral part of my life. School race tracks became my war zone every year and thanks to a supportive family and encouraging school teachers, I could have my moment of glory. Unfortunately many kids don’t have that support system. #WhyTheGap,'' the actress captioned the post.
Soon after she shared the picture, netizens started pouring in comments. Her Manmarziyaan director Anurag Kashyap wrote, ''Chalo koi award toh mila,” to which the actress replied, ''Hahaha. School-college sab theek tha, life mein uske baad the competitions became TOO FAIR.''
