Kangana Ranaut is known to speak her mind and share her views be it socio-political or the subjects of nepotism in Bollywood. Recently, in an interview with Republic TV, she took a dig at Swara Bhasker and Taapsee Pannu and called them B-grade actors. The ‘Manikarnika’ actress also slammed them for supporting the ‘movie mafia gangs.’ She also called them ‘needy outsiders who love Karan Johar‘.
Now, in an exclusive interview with Hindustan Times, Taapsee Pannu reacted to Ranaut’s accusations, “It’s disheartening to see someone making a mockery out of outsiders and the industry that has given us so much. Imagine the parents whose kids are coming into the industry. What will they think of us? Like we are some nasty evil people sitting here to eat outsiders?”
Taapsee said Kangana and Rangoli tried to discredit her, “I’ve been dropped out of films and replaced with star kids but the fact that Kangana and her sister (Rangoli Chandel) try to discredit me and my hard work, call me names, put wrong allegations on me, is actually an equal level of harassment, if not more. All this because I refuse to sing her tune and because I refuse to see her as the flag bearer of outsiders because we all are not bitter people?”
Lastly, she said, she refuses to be bitter and “take advantage of someone’s death for personal vendetta, I did speak up when I was wrongfully replaced in ‘Pati Patni Aur Woh.’ I called out a wrong practice and had the director of the film supporting me then. So, it’s not like I am scared to voice out problems and people do back you when you do it with right intentions.”
Kangana Ranaut is yet to respond, till then stay tuned to The Live Mirror for more updates.
