Taapsee Responds After Kangana Attacks Her

MUMBAI-Actress Taapsee Pannu shared a cryptic post on social media on August 23 after actress and BJP MP Kangana Ranaut called her a ‘sasti copy’ in a post that was later deleted.

The exchange followed recent remarks by Taapsee that Kangana interpreted as questioning her upbringing. While Kangana did not name Taapsee in her Instagram post on August 22, her reference to a “Sasti copy” was apparently directed at the actress.

“One Sasti copy is out and about with her upcoming B grade film but as usual only headline point with the media is Kangana Ranaut, but today she crossed all limits shamelessly ridiculing my upbringing /parents, I think all parents do their best and I never bring any parents in to any argument, but today I also want to ask her parents why they couldn’t birth someone original like my parents did? Why a cheap Sasti copy? Feel sorry for your efforts. (sic)” Kangana wrote.

The BJP MP and actress added, “This is so unfortunate and so wrong, but she is not the only one; many people who grew up in shady, cramped-up outskirts of cities in dingy rented apartments with questionable backgrounds and incomes often question my upbringing and malign my parents and background who hail from a renowned Rajput zamindar family and were raised by educated, distinguished parents. It was a personal choice for me to start from scratch; why attack my parents for that?”

Kangana later deleted the post.

On August 23, Taapsee responded with a cryptic post of her own. Without naming anyone, she wrote, “Hence proved.”

The post came shortly after Taapsee spoke about her equation with Kangana during a media interaction. Taapsee said she had never met Kangana and that her opinion of the actress was based on her upbringing and the way she talks and perceives things.

“So, I think that’s enough for everybody to look and decide who comes from where,” Taapsee had added.

The latest exchange revives a feud between the two actresses that dates back to 2019. (IANS)
