Actress Taapsee Pannu is not one to be messed with. The actress, who won a Filmfare award recently for her performance in 'Saand Ki Aankh' was called the “female Ayushmann Khurrana' and she had a tongue-in-cheek response. Producer Tanuj Garg congratulated Pannu on Twitter for her award. His original tweet read, “Congrats to the powerhouse @taapsee, humaare #Bollywood ki female Ayushmann Khurrana.”
Taapsee responded to the tweet saying, “What about calling me bollywood ki pehli Taapsee Pannu?” Garg responded saying, “Woh toh ho hi! Inimitable, singular, distinctive!” (That you already are). The Twitterati loved her response and several comments poured in. One person said, “Yaaaas! Queen. Your success doesn't need to always be equated to that of a man. You're your own person and this is just amazing! Congratulations.” Other wrote, “Why does she has be compared to a man to show her achievement? Why does she has to be compared with anyone? She has done enough to be known and acknowledged by who she is! It's Taapsee.”
Taapsee will next be seen in director Anubhav Sinha's film 'Thappad', which is slated for release on February 28.
