Acclaiming Vidya Balan for her back-to-back appearances in Dirty Picture and Kahaani, Pannu said during a Filmfare interview that Balan showed us that "this is possible". She praised Balan for appearing in two consecutive women-centric films, both of which portrayed her in serious roles rather than using her to accessorise the male actor.

Next, naming Tabassum Fatima Hashmi, popularly known as Tabu, as the groundbreaking Bollywood actor, she said, "Tabu because she always makes us curious about what she’s going to do next".

The 50-year-old actor recently appeared in movies like Andhadhun where she played the role of a murderer, Dhrishyam where she played the role of an officer and mother of a rape-accused boy and De De Pyaar De where she played the role of a former wife who is jealous of husband's affairs. All of the mentioned movies showed Tabu as a steadfast personality.
