War of words between Taapsee Pannu and Kangana Ranaut doesn't seem to end in the aftermath of latter's explosive interview with the Republic Media Network. In the recent developments, Taapsee shared a screengrab of Kangana's old interview (from the time of Jiah Khan's demise) and questioned how her stance changed on depression and suicide from then to Sushant's unfortunate death. In the tweets later, Taapsee also called Kangana a 'bully' and clarified the reason behind it.

In 2013, Kangana Ranaut came out to defend Sooraj Pancholi when he was behind bars for allegedly abetting Jiah Khan's suicide. Kangana at that time was dating Sooraj's father Aditya Pancholi and reacting on the issue then, Kangana said, "Depression is a disease which should be treated like one. When a person chooses to take a step like that it is irrelevant what made them do it. Depression could be triggered by anything. You can’t blame anyone else for that state of mind."

Questioning the same, Taapsee on Monday wrote, "Get the inquiry started, request the police , CBI , FBI and every agency that can help unearth the truth. Also along side help us all unearth how the logic behind suicide, depression and the reason behind that changes when it’s Jia Khan to when it is SSR" [sic]
