Taapsee Pannu has asked the media to stop asking about her long-running feud with Kangana Ranaut, saying the controversy would end if journalists stopped bringing it up. Speaking at the trailer launch of her Netflix film Gandhari on Tuesday, Taapsee said, 'Why don't you let this matter end? If you all stop asking both of us questions about this, the issue will automatically come to an end.'
The latest round began after Taapsee told India Today that her opinion of Kangana reflected her own upbringing and perspective. Kangana responded on Instagram Stories, calling Taapsee a 'sasti copy' and questioning her parents. Kangana later deleted the posts. Their public spat dates back to the nepotism debate in 2020. Gandhari, an action-thriller about a mother searching for her abducted daughter, releases on Netflix on September 3.
Indian Opinion Analysis
All three sources report the same core exchange: Taapsee Pannu asked the media to stop asking about Kangana Ranaut's 'sasti copy' jibe, saying the issue would then die. Times Now and Times of India both present the story as straight event coverage, giving equal weight to Taapsee's response and Kangana's Instagram post. Bollywood Hungama takes a slightly sensationalist angle, using 'SNAPS' in the headline and foregrounding Taapsee's pushback over the substance of the feud. The uniform reporting leaves little framing conflict. The key takeaway is Taapsee's explicit media blame, which neither outlet challenges. Gandhari releases on Netflix on September 3.
