New Delhi. The years-old dispute between Bollywood actresses Kangana Ranaut and Taapsee Pannu has once again come into the limelight. The long-running verbal spat between the two actresses took a new turn when Taapsee Pannu spoke about her strained relationship with Kangana at the India Today Women Summit 2026. A few hours after Taapsee's statement, Kangana expressed her displeasure through Instagram story and made a very sharp attack on Taapsee. This time the controversy was not limited to just the two actresses but Kangana raised questions on Taapsee's upbringing and even her parents.
Actually, during the summit, Taapsee was asked a question about improving her relationship with Kangana. In response, Taapsee said that she has never met Kangana. While refusing to say anything about Kangana, he gestured that talking about a person like this shows his upbringing and his attitude. Taapsee also said that people can see for themselves who comes from where. Taapsee ended her statement here but Kangana did not like her statement.
After Taapsee's comment surfaced, Kangana reacted on Instagram Story. He once again targeted Taapsee by calling her a cheap copy. Kangana alleged that whenever Taapsee comes in front of the media, she has nothing to talk about except Kangana Ranaut's name. Kangana said that this time Taapsee has crossed the limits of making fun of her upbringing and parents. Kangana also said that she usually does not involve the other person's parents in any argument because she believes that every parent tries their best for their children.
However, after this Kangana also made sharp remarks about Taapsee's parents. He questioned why Taapsee's parents could not produce an original person like his parents and why such a cheap copy was produced. After this comment of Kangana, the discussion about the old dispute between the two actresses has again intensified on social media. Fans and social media users are also giving different reactions regarding his statement.
This dispute between Kangana and Taapsee is not new. Its roots are about seven years old. In the year 2019, Taapsee had praised the trailer of Kangana's film Judgmental Hai Kya but did not take Kangana's name during that time. After this, Kangana's sister Rangoli Chandel targeted Taapsee by calling her a cheap copy. Later in the year 2020, during the debate on nepotism and outsiders in Bollywood, Kangana even called Taapsee a B-grade actress and a needy outsider.
After so many years, when Taapsee has expressed her views on this old controversy, once again the war of words seems to be intensifying between the two. While Taapsee tried to avoid directly attacking Kangana by taking her name in her statement, Kangana responded openly through social media. Now after this new controversy, it will be interesting to see whether Taapsee Pannu gives any reaction to Kangana's sharp counterattack or would like to end the matter here.
