Taapsee Pannu attacked by netizens
Meanwhile, a social media user attacked Taapsee Pannu for her comment on Neha Dhupia's open letter and questioned her stand on adultery and violence. In a long tweet, the user wrote: "This is u just in case u forgot. Characters u play in reel is how normal humans also behave in real. When u are hurt by ur partner, u react. Slap is wrong but to call a partners cheating a "choice" is bonkers. U & she both need 2 check ur double standards on gender based violence."

Moments later, Taapsee Pannu lashed out at the netizen, saying, "Go watch the film again u will understand the difference in context. N while u r at it, re read my tweet n considering your prolific bio I hope u will understand English. If not u can contact a more sensible person to translate. Regards."
However, Taapsee Pannu's bickering with the Twitter user did not end here. The two again engaged in a social media brawl, with the social media user questioning Taapsee's sense of judgement. Here is what she had to say:
When a man slaps a woman, focus on slap & not the reason.

When a woman slaps a man hard multiple times, focus on the reason & not the slap.
Gyaan from Shri Shri Feminist 1001 @taapsee 🙏🙏🙏🙏 https://t.co/V1wEKYInnp
Kindly focus on the reason both the times. N if u can’t see the difference contact sri sri ‘any regular sane human being’ for help. N next time , try other ways to sound reasonable, this one isn’t working anymore :)

Thappad directed by Anubhav Sinha received a lukewarm response at the box office. However, Thappad managed to garner critical acclaim.
