Taapsee Pannu, accused of supporting ‘oppressors’, hits back at those painting a ‘purely negative picture’ of Bollywood

Taapsee Pannu hit back at a Twitter user who accused her and Swara Bhasker of siding with those who were oppressing outsiders in the film industry.

Taapsee Pannu has hit back at a Twitter user who accused her and Swara Bhasker of standing with ‘oppressors’ and hinted that they would be responsible ‘next time a struggling actor gives up on life like Sushant Singh Rajput’. She criticised the ‘purely negative’ portrayal of how outsiders are treated in Bollywood and said that it could very well kill the passion of some talented artist, who might be scared to even give the film industry a shot.

Taapsee Pannu has hit out at those portraying Bollywood in a purely negative way for its treatment of outsiders.

“God forbid next time a struggling actor gives up on life like Sushant Singh Rajput please do remember how @taapsee and @ReallySwara stood with oppressors. What an unfortunate, bitter world,” a Twitter user wrote. In response, Taapsee wrote, “Next time another outstanding talent gets scared to even enter our industry n kills his passion and hope to contribute to Indian cinema coz some people painted purely negative picture about how outsiders are treated do remember YOU are ALSO responsible for it.”

Taapsee hit back in an interview with Hindustan Times and said, “I never mentioned anywhere I like Karan Johar or anyone she alleges, but I have never said I hate them either. So, the fact that you don’t hate someone she hates, is equivalent to ‘you like that person and you suck up to that person’? I don’t even know him beyond formal ‘hi, hello, thank you’. How is this even logical?”
