'Hence, proved': Taapsee Pannu hits back with a cryptic note after Kangana Ranaut calls her 'sasti copy' and makes a B-grade dig

The long-running feud between actresses Taapsee Pannu and Kangana Ranaut has reignited after Taapsee took a jibe at Kangana's upbringing while speaking about their differing viewpoints. Kangana hit back sharply, calling Taapsee a "sasti copy" and referring to her upcoming Netflix film Gandhari as a "B-grade film," further intensifying the war of words between the two.Without directly naming Kangana Ranaut, Taapsee Pannu appeared to respond to the fresh attack through a cryptic Instagram Story on Sunday, August 23. The story simply read, "Hence, proved." While she did not tag anyone, the timing of the post, coming right after Kangana's remarks, led many fans and followers to interpret it as a subtle jab back at her.What Taapsee Pannu said about Kangana RanautSpeaking to India Today, about the ongoing feud, Taapsee Pannu explained her perspective, saying, "I didn't meet her before when these so-called issues started. I haven't met her now as well. My opinion on her is reflective of my upbringing and my way of talking, my way of perceiving things and hers... she stands by hers. So, I think that's enough for everybody to look and decide who comes from where."Following the backlash, Kangana deleted the Instagram Story in which she had made the remarks about Taapsee and her film 'Gandhari', though the reason behind the deletion remains unclear. It read, "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 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."A look back at the Kangana Ranaut–Taapsee Pannu feudThe rivalry between the two actresses dates back a few years, when Kangana's sister, Rangoli Chandel, first called Taapsee a "sasti copy" of Ranaut on social media. The remark sparked a heated exchange between the camps at the time and has continued to strain the equation between the two actresses ever since.
