Kangana Ranaut and Taapsee Pannu engaged in a public feud in 2019 and 2020. The old issue resurfaced after the Pink actor opened up about her equation with the actor-turned-politician.

What Happened Between Kangana Ranaut And Taapsee Pannu?

Kangana Ranaut and Taapsee Pannu's public feud dates back to 2019. It began after Kangana’s sister, Rangoli Chandel, called Taapsee a 'sasti copy' of Kangana on social media. The remark came after Taapsee praised the trailer of Kangana's movie. Rangoli then accused her of copying Kangana without giving her credit.

The matter grew in 2020, when both actresses were involved in heated discussions about nepotism in the film industry. Kangana called Taapsee and others 'B-grade actresses' and 'needy outsiders,' which intensified the exchange.

Despite their disagreements, Taapsee has insisted that she is ready to become friends with Kangana.

Kangana Ranaut once again used the term 'sasti copy' on her Instagram story uploaded on Saturday night without mentioning Taapsee. "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."

Kangana Ranaut continued, "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."

The stories were, however, taken down by Sunday morning after being uploaded on Kangana Ranaut's official Instagram account on Saturday night.
