# Taapsee Pannu asks media to stop asking about Kangana feud 2026-08-25T12:48:10+00:00 | Entertainment | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 4 independent outlets Taapsee Pannu has responded to Kangana Ranaut's latest 'sasti copy' jibe by questioning why the media keeps their feud alive. Speaking at the trailer launch of her Netflix film Gandhari, Taapsee said: 'Aap khatam kyun nahi hone dete yeh baat? When people stop asking questions to both of us, the issue will end.' She suggested journalists enjoy watching the exchange and are therefore persistent. The latest round began after Taapsee told India Today that her opinion of Kangana reflects her own upbringing, while Kangana stands by hers. Kangana then posted on Instagram calling Taapsee a 'sasti copy' and asking why Taapsee's parents could not birth 'someone original'. Taapsee later posted 'Hence, proved' without naming Kangana. Gandhari releases on Netflix on September 3. ## Indian Opinion Analysis All four outlets report the same facts neutrally, with no editorial slant in any version. The coverage is uniform straight reporting of Taapsee's media criticism and Kangana's Instagram posts. The only notable difference is that ABP Live and Bollywood Hungama quote Taapsee's remark about a man asking the question, which the other two omit. With no framing divergence across sources, the story itself is a closed loop: both actresses have aired their positions, and the next concrete date is the film's release on September 3. ## Coverage Coverage: 4 sources, 4 neutral - timesnownews.com (neutral report) Straight factual report of both actresses' statements - bollywoodhungama.com (neutral report) Straight factual report with direct quotes from the event - timesofindia.indiatimes.com (neutral report) Straight factual report with full context of the feud timeline - news.abplive.com (neutral report) Straight factual report with key points summary This brief was synthesised by AI from the 4 sources linked above, so one read covers every framing they carry.
