Actress Taapsee Pannu responded to Kangana Ranaut’s latest attack with a cryptic Instagram story that read 'Hence, proved,' posted on Sunday. Kangana had earlier called Taapsee a 'sasti copy' and criticised her parents after Taapsee commented on Kangana’s upbringing in an interview. Kangana later deleted that Instagram post.

The feud has escalated online, with fans interpreting Taapsee’s post as a subtle jab confirming her position. Kangana, also a Member of Parliament, had written: 'Why a cheap Sasti copy? Feel sorry for your efforts.' Taapsee’s camp has not issued a direct reply. No further statements or legal action are reported.
The coverage of this celebrity spat is uniform and neutral: both outlets report the same facts, Kangana’s deleted post calling Taapsee a cheap copy, and Taapsee’s cryptic 'Hence, proved' reply, without taking sides or adding commentary. Times of India provides more background, including Taapsee’s earlier interview and a reader poll, while TeluguCinema keeps it brief and factual. Neither outlet judges the merits of either actress’s actions. A careful reader should note that the feud has no new institutional or policy implications, it is purely personal. The next escalation, if any, will likely come via social media or an interview, rather than a court or regulator.
