Taapsee Pannu response to a Twitter user:
Kangana Ranaut's explosive interview with Republic Network’s Editor-in-chief, Arnab Goswami has sparked a lot of debate in Bollywood. In the interview, Kangana Ranaut compared actress Taapsee Pannu and Swara Bhaskar to Alia Bhatt and Ananya Pandey. Kangana wondered why the former didn’t get good roles even when they were better actresses and more physically appealing.
While a Twitter user praised Tapsee and Swara’s ethical nature. Tapsee replied by hinting that hypocrisy was not appreciated by many. Although Tapsee did not take any names, she made a mention of Kangana Ranaut's twitter by retweeting a video wherein Ranaut removed an 'outsider Sonu Sood and director Krish' from Manikarnika.

Before that there is someone trying to use divide n rule policy in the film industry. Yes there are differences between ppl born with pedigree n the ‘outsiders’ but we aren’t battling each other we are battling for a BETTER SYSTEM TO CO EXIST not by mud slinging n name calling! https://t.co/Q1WXo4Qi21

History would remember @taapsee and @ReallySwara as people who stood up against hate without being hateful. Two actors who could've easily stayed silent like most of their colleagues while their country was being divided by a dictator, but chose not to.
