\"Taapsee The public feud between Kangana Ranaut<\/a> and Taapsee Pannu<\/a> has stretched over several years, beginning around 2019 with sharp social media exchanges and personal remarks. From being called a \u201csasti (cheap) copy\u201d by Kangana\u2019s sister Rangoli Chandel to being labelled a \u201cB-grade actress\u201d and \u201cshe-man,\u201d the back-and-forth became a prominent talking point amid the nepotism<\/a> debate.In a recent interview, Taapsee revisited the controversy, insisting she never initiated a fight and expressing openness to moving forward.<\/p>\n

\u2018I never clashed\u2019<\/p>\n

Addressing the alleged feud, Taapsee told Shubhankar Mishra, \u201cI don\u2019t know when I ever fought. A fight happens when two people clash. I never clashed. You tell me \u2014 have I ever said even a single line against her?\u201d <\/p>\n

Responding to the \u201ccheap copy\u201d remark, she said, \u201cHer sister called me a \u2018cheap copy.\u2019 She said that since I don\u2019t earn as much money here, that makes me cheap. If she is such a brilliant actress, I have no problem being called her copy. You can take out any statement of mine \u2014 I haven\u2019t said anything against her.\u201dWhen it was pointed out that when two strong women are perceived to be rivals, the narrative rarely shifts to collaboration and how powerful it would be if they came together, Taapsee said that Kangana is her senior and that she is open to friendship despite their long-standing feud. She added that she cannot guarantee what Kangana might say to her, but from her side, she is clear. <\/p>\n

On nepotism and who benefited<\/p>\n

When asked whether their feud indirectly benefited star kids during the nepotism debate, Taapsee responded, \u201cI don\u2019t know about them, but someone or the other must have benefited in some way. Like I said, from my side, there was never any fight. But I do feel that someone must have gained from it.\u201d She further added that the industry\u2019s divisions are not limited to insiders versus outsiders. According to her, even outsiders often fail to support each other despite speaking about the challenges they face. She noted that people frequently \u201ccry about being outsiders\u201d but still end up fighting amongst themselves instead of standing united.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The public feud between Kangana Ranaut and Taapsee Pannu has stretched over several years, beginning around 2019 with…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":309140,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[32],"tags":[1482,321,93,61,60,145097,26861,145099,29183,145100,145098,128921,145101,145102],"class_list":{"0":"post-309139","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-celebrities","8":"tag-bollywood","9":"tag-celebrities","10":"tag-entertainment","11":"tag-ie","12":"tag-ireland","13":"tag-kangana","14":"tag-kangana-ranaut","15":"tag-mathias-boe","16":"tag-nepotism","17":"tag-rangoli-chandel","18":"tag-taapsee","19":"tag-taapsee-pannu","20":"tag-taapsee-pannu-kangana-ranaut-fight","21":"tag-taapsee-pannu-kangana-ranaut-friendship"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/309139","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=309139"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/309139\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/309140"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=309139"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=309139"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=309139"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
