Taapsee Pannu Addresses Feud With Kangana Ranaut

Taapsee Pannu recently spoke about her feud with Kangana Ranaut at the India Today Woman Summit 2026. She revealed that she has never met Kangana, even when their issues first started in 2019.

Taapsee explained that their different upbringings shape their opinions and ways of communicating. She said that her opinion on Kangana reflects her own upbringing and way of perceiving things.

The feud between the two actresses started in 2019 when Taapsee praised the trailer of Judgementall Hai Kya without mentioning Kangana. Kangana's sister Rangoli Chandel responded by accusing Taapsee of copying Kangana and called her a “sasti copy.”

Taapsee hit back, saying she did not know Kangana had a “patent on curly hair” and maintained that if she was considered a copy of a good actress, she would take it as a compliment. The equation became more heated in 2020 when Kangana called Taapsee and Swara Bhasker “B-grade actresses” and “needy outsiders” while discussing Bollywood's insider-outsider debate.

Taapsee responded sarcastically to the “B-grade” remark and later said she objected to Kangana discrediting her hard work. Despite their feud, Taapsee has said she is open to being friends with Kangana.

Taapsee's comments at the summit suggest that she is not interested in escalating the feud further. She left it to the audience to form their own opinion, saying that their different backgrounds are enough for people to decide who comes from where.

The feud between Taapsee and Kangana has been making headlines for years, with both actresses taking indirect digs at each other. However, Taapsee's recent comments suggest that she is willing to put the past behind her and move on.

The India Today Woman Summit 2026 provided a platform for Taapsee to address the feud and share her perspective on the issue. Her comments have sparked a new debate about the importance of upbringing and background in shaping our opinions and behaviors.

In the end, Taapsee's decision to address the feud and share her perspective is a significant step towards resolving the issue. It remains to be seen how Kangana will respond to Taapsee's comments and whether the two actresses will be able to put their differences behind them.

The feud between Taapsee and Kangana is a reminder that even in the glamorous world of Bollywood, personal differences and conflicts can arise. However, it is how we address and resolve these conflicts that matters.

Taapsee's comments at the summit are a testament to her maturity and willingness to move on from the past. As the Bollywood industry continues to evolve, it is essential for actresses like Taapsee and Kangana to use their platforms to promote positivity and respect for one another.
