Taapsee Pannu and Kangana Ranaut's catfight: Rangoli Chandel insults Taapsee Pannu again

Rangoli Chandel and Taapsee Pannu’s war-of-words regarding Kangana Ranaut has been ongoing for quite some time now

Actor Taapsee Pannu has fired back at Kangana Ranaut, talking about how she hasn’t shown any support to her film Mission Mangal. Taapsee Pannu was taking a dig at Kangana’s quoted statement that women should support each other.

Mission Mangal is headlined by five female actors – Vidya Balan, Kriti Kulhari, Nithya Menon and Sonakshi Sinha, apart from Taapsee.

Kangana Ranaut and her sister Rangoli Chandel had criticised Taapsee, calling her a ‘sasti copy’ of Kangana. They have also previously expressed disappointment at other Bollywood stars for not supporting Kangana’s films.

Rangoli slammed Taapsee Pannu by asking her about her achievements for which she needs to be praised for

In an Interview, Taapsee said, “She (Kangana) has always spoken about how a woman should support another woman, but I did not hear any words of praise for my films. There are five women in Mission Mangal. Is she praising us? I am her junior and don’t have [as vast] a filmography as her, but I have done a decent number of films for someone to be appreciative of it.”

She added that she was disappointed when Kangana and her sister began criticising her. “It was a shock because it came from someone I always admired. I felt disappointed. When someone you had put on a pedestal does this, it makes you question if you were right in looking up to her. In my response, I said I am happy being a copy because she is a damn good actress. I am sasta because she claims to be the highest paid [female actor]. I don’t see it as derogatory. Just because she is saying it, doesn’t mean it’s the ultimate truth. She didn’t expose me; she exposed herself. It’s awkward but I won’t hold it against her. I love her as a performer and will continue to do so.”

On the work front, Taapsee Pannu is currently basking the success of ‘Mission Mangal’ as within just two days, the film has minted more than 40 crores at the box office. As for Kangana Ranaut, her latest stint, ‘Judgemntall Hai Kya’ received rave reviews and also managed to rake high numbers at the box office. The actress will next be seen in ‘Dhaakad’.
