Overview
- Speaking on Shubhankar Mishra’s podcast while promoting Assi, Taapsee said there was no clash and that she has never spoken against Kangana Ranaut.
- She added she would greet Ranaut respectfully, calling her a senior, while noting she can only vouch for her own conduct.
- Taapsee suggested someone likely benefited from the public back-and-forth and hinted some people did not want them to collaborate.
- The perceived dispute traces to a 2019 post by Ranaut’s sister Rangoli Chandel calling Taapsee a “sasti copy,” a comment later deleted.
- Reports frame both actors as industry outsiders within the nepotism debate, and note Ranaut’s 2025 film Emergency underperformed with another release slated later this year.
