Taapsee seemingly took an indirect jibe at Kangana without directly taking her name. On Sunday, August 23, Taapsee took to her Instagram Stories and dropped a cryptic message that read, “Hence, proved.”
While Taapsee did not mention any name in the post, the timing was enough for fans to understand the context. The cryptic note came shortly after Kangana’s latest statement.
About Taapsee Pannu and Kangana Ranaut’s feud
During a conversation with India Today, Taapsee opened up about her feud with Kangana saying, “I didn’t meet her before when these so-called issues started. I haven’t met her now as well. My opinion on her is reflective of my upbringing and my way of talking, my way of perceiving things and hers… she stands by hers. So, I think that’s enough for everybody to look and decide who comes from where.”
Later, on Saturday, Kangana reacted to Taapsee’s comments about her upbringing via Instagram Stories. Without naming the actor, she wrote, “One Sasti copy is out and about with her upcoming B grade film but as usual only headline point with the media is Kangana Ranaut, but today she crossed all limits shamelessly ridiculing my upbringing /parents, I think all parents do their best and I never bring any parents in to any argument, but today I also want to ask her parents why they couldn’t birth someone original like my parents did? Why a cheap Sasti copy? Feel sorry for your efforts.”
In a separate story she added, “This is so unfortunate and so wrong, but she is not the only one; many people who grew up in shady, cramped-up outskirts of cities in dingy rented apartments with questionable backgrounds and incomes often question my upbringing and malign my parents and background who hail from a renowned Rajput zamindar family and were raised by educated, distinguished parents. It was a personal choice for me to start from scratch; why attack my parents for that?”
