Bollywood: The years-long dispute between actress Taapsee Pannu and Kangana Ranaut is once again in the news. Kangana reacted sharply to Taapsee's recent statement through social media. Kangana accused Taapsee of making comments about her upbringing and parents and raised many personal questions. However, Kangana later deleted her Instagram story.
New controversy started after Taapsee's statement
Recently, Taapsee Pannu talked about her alleged differences with Kangana Ranaut in an interview. She was asked whether the two actresses had resolved their old dispute. In response, Taapsee said that she has never met Kangana in person and both of them had not met even before the controversy started.
Taapsee also clarified that her opinion about Kangana is influenced by her own upbringing, the way she talks and the way she looks at things. He indicated that he stood by his views. After this statement of Taapsee, the old dispute between the two actresses again came into limelight on social media.
Kangana gave a sharp reply on social media
After Taapsee's statement, Kangana Ranaut shared a post on her official Instagram account on Saturday evening without taking her name. In the post, he used very harsh language against Taapsee and alleged that she was trying to create controversy for the promotion of her upcoming film.
Kangana accused Taapsee of making fun of her upbringing and parents. He said that any person's parents try to do the best for their children to the best of their ability and it is not appropriate to involve the family in personal disputes.
Kangana also used words like 'cheap copy' about Taapsee in her post. He also raised the question that if his own identity and upbringing were being questioned then why should his parents be held responsible for it.
Also mentioned his family and upbringing
Kangana later shared a news related to Taapsee's comment on her Instagram story. Along with this he mentioned his family and educational background.
The actress said that comments have been made many times in public about her family. He described his family as belonging to a prestigious Rajput zamindar background and said that his parents were educated.
Kangana also said that the decision regarding starting her career was her own. According to him, he chose the path of creating his own professional identity and it is not fair to question the role of his parents for this.
Kangana later removed the post
Both these Instagram stories of Kangana appeared on social media on Saturday evening, but they were removed by Sunday morning. However, by then their screenshots had circulated on social media and the discussion about the old dispute between the two actresses started again.
In this entire matter, no detailed public reply has come out from Taapsee's side on Kangana's latest reaction. Therefore, at present the new round of controversy is mainly around Taapsee's statement and Kangana's social media reaction.
The dispute between the two actresses is not new
The differences between Taapsee Pannu and Kangana Ranaut have been discussed for many years. Both the actresses are known for their distinct identities in Bollywood, but from time to time their statements about each other have been in the headlines.
A famous round of controversy surfaced around 2018-19. At that time, Taapsee had said in a conversation that Kangana needs some filter to express her views. After this, the public spat between the two intensified.
In 2019, Taapsee had praised the trailer of Kangana's film 'Judgmental Hai Kya', but she did not take the actress's name directly. After this, Kangana's sister Rangoli Chandel had targeted Taapsee on social media by calling her a 'cheap copy'. At that time this comment became involved in the famous social media controversies of Bollywood.
Came face to face even during nepotism debate
After the death of actor Sushant Singh Rajput in 2020, the debate in Bollywood regarding nepotism and opportunities in the film industry intensified. During this period, Kangana had also commented about Taapsee Pannu and actress Swara Bhaskar.
Kangana alleged that both the actresses support nepotism in the film industry despite calling themselves outsiders. In response to this, Taapsee had said that artists coming from outside the industry should support each other instead of fighting among themselves.
Even at that time, the statements of both the parties had generated a lot of discussion on social media. However, after this both the actresses continued to focus on their respective careers and worked in different films.
Amidst the controversy, both their careers moved in different directions.
Taapsee Pannu has worked in Hindi as well as South Indian films and has been recognized for different types of characters in her films. Apart from acting, Kangana Ranaut is also known for directing and having outspoken opinions on public issues.
The film journeys of both the artists have progressed in different directions. Despite this, whenever either of them comments on an old controversy related to the other, the matter immediately becomes a topic of discussion on social media and in the entertainment world.
Old matter again discussed on social media
The latest controversy has once again raised the question of how age-old differences between actors in Bollywood turn into public debates from time to time. Taapsee's recent statement and Kangana's reaction have also brought old allegations and comments back into discussion.
At present, no personal meeting or agreement has been confirmed between the two actresses. Even after Kangana's post was removed, her controversial statement remains in discussion on social media. The entertainment world will keep an eye on whether there is any reaction from Taapsee on this matter in the coming days.
