Taapsee
On
Anurag
Kashyap
Taking
A
Stand
For
Her
Speaking
of
Rangoli
Chandel's
derogatory
tweets
and
Anurag
Kashyap's
defence,
Taapsee
was
quoted
as
saying,
"Not
just
Anurag,
a
few
other
close
friends
from
the
industry
also
wanted
to
retort,
but
I
stopped
them
because
I
don't
want
to
give
her
any
mileage
on
my
behalf."
'Kangana
Can't
Play
The
Nepotism
Card
With
Me'
While
slamming
Kangana
Ranaut
over
playing
the
nepotism
card,
Taapsee
says,
"Kangana
can't
play
the
nepotism
card
with
me
because
I've
also
struggled
to
reach
where
I
am
today.
I
didn't
want
to
engage
in
a
word
battle
because
I
would
not
be
able
to
match
their
language."
Why
Taapsee
Had
Said
That
Kangana
Needs
A
'Double
Filter'
Taapsee
goes
on
to
explain,
"We
are
both
opinionated
and
speak
our
mind
which
is
a
good
thing
except
that
sometimes
it
lands
us
in
trouble.
I
had
said
it
in
a
positive
manner
and
not
meant
for
it
to
be
derogatory.
In
fact,
I
have
often
said
Kangana's
an
actor
I
look
up
to,
my
conscience
is
clear.
It
was
weird
to
target
me,
that's
why
it
backfired."
Taapsee
On
Being
Called
'Sasti'
Copy
Of
Kangana
Taapsee
has
a
rather
funny
reply
to
Rangoli's
tweet,
wherein
she
had
called
Taapsee,
a
'sasti'
copy
of
Kangana.
The
Manmarziyaan
actress
says,
"I
didn't
know
there
was
a
copyright
on
curly
hair,
which
I
was
born
with,
and
honest
opinions.
I'm
not
going
to
apologise
for
it.
As
far
as
being
"sasti" is
concerned,
Kangana
claims
to
be
the
highest-paid
actress,
so
I
guess
I
am
the
"sasti"
version."
Taapsee
On
Kabir
Singh
Row
We
all
saw
how
Shahid
Kapoor
starrer
Kabir
Singh
turned
out
a
divisive
film.
It
left
the
audience
in
two
opinions
-
one,
who
supported
the
film,
while
another
section
slammed
the
film
for
being
misogynist.
Speaking
about
the
Kabir
Singh
row,
Taapsee
said,
"Kabir
Singh
and
Arjun
Reddy
are
not
the
only
films
glorifying
misogyny,
there
are
several
others
too
but
not
to
this
extent.
That
is
one
of
the
reasons
why
I
do
the
kind
of
films
I
do,
there
should
be
a
counter
narrative
too.
I
know
I'll
never
be
able
to
match
up
to
the
numbers
of
this
film
but
that
won't
deter
me."
Taapsee
Takes
A
Dig
At
Shahid
Kapoor
&
Vijay
Deverakonda
"We
are
on
the
cusp
of
a
change
and
I
am
not
going
to
give
up
now.
The
problem
is
not
showing
flawed
characters.
The
problem
is
when
you
glorify
them
and
make
what
they
are
doing
seem
heroic.
This
character
is
so
revered
that
whatever
he
does
is
not
just
accepted,
it
is
celebrated."
Taapsee
Gives
An
Instance
Of
Her
Own
Flawed
Character
In
Manmarziyaan
"She
was
probably
not
a
female
Kabir
Singh
but
Manmarziyaan's
Rumi
Bagga
was
a
flawed
character
too
and
ended
up
losing
her
love
and
getting
divorced.
The
same
misogynist
people
who
didn't
see
a
problem
with
Kabir,
booed
Rumi.
We
aren't
oblivious
to
the
double
standards
of
our
society,"
says
Taapsee.
On
the
work
front,
Taapsee
will
be
next
seen
in
Mission
Mangal
and
Saand
Ki
Aankh.
