Kangana Ranaut and Taapsee Pannu reignite long-standing feud

A long-standing feud between Bollywood actresses and BJP MP Kangana Ranaut and Taapsee Pannu has resurfaced following recent comments regarding their respective upbringings. The tension escalated after Pannu stated in an interview with India Today that her opinions of Ranaut are reflective of her own upbringing and way of perceiving things, noting that the two have never met personally.

Ranaut responded via Instagram Stories, accusing Pannu of “shamelessly ridiculing” her parents and background. Ranaut, who defended her roots in a “renowned Rajput zamindar family,” referred to Pannu as a “sasti copy” and criticized her upcoming film. Although Ranaut later deleted the posts, the exchange prompted Pannu to share a cryptic social media post stating, “Hence proved.”

The rivalry dates back to 2019, involving previous accusations of being a “cheap copy” during the industry's nepotism debates.
