Rangoli Chandel’s Attacks On Taapsee Pannu Over Saand Ki Aankh Hits A NEW LOW; Netizens SLAM Her

Rangoli Chandel stirred up a new controversy over the casting of young actresses like Taapsee and Bhumi to play 60 year old women in Saand Ki Aankh, attacking Taapsee for her acting skills.

Audiences and Bollywood celebrities have been praising Saand Ki Aankh's trailer since it was dropped. The Bhumi Pednekar and Taapsee Pannu starrer is based on the true story of two women, Chandro and Prakashi Tomar, who learnt sharp shooting after the age of 60. However, some are questioning the filmmakers' decision of casting two young actresses instead of choosing actresses who are closer to Chandro and Prakashi Tomar in age.

Veteran actress Neena Gupta also raised the pertinent question on her social media platform by writing that filmmakers should atleast cast actors like her when there are age appropriate roles. Kangana Ranaut's sister Rangoli Chandel had already been slamming the makers of Saand Ki Aankh for allegedly using the values of feminism to make anti-feminist decisions. She replied to Neena's comment by stating that Kangana had been offered the role but she denied it precisely for the reasons that Neena stated.

So funny!)
