Taapsee Pannu has been called names by Kangana Ranaut's sister Rangoli Chandel on Twitter but the actor says she is not too bothered by the comments as they have no bearing on her life and work.

Chandel hit back, calling Taapsee, who like Kanagana also comes from a non-film background, a "sasti copy" (cheap copy) of her sister.
When asked about being targeted by another outsider in a group interview here, Taapsee said, "Those who matter to you, matter to you.

"I have never spoken to Kangana. She is my senior and if I ever see her in my vicinity or around me, I can go and say hello to her. I have no qualms about it."
"Actors are not giving me work so what should I do of their validation... I used to feel bad about it earlier now I am used to it. If I get it, I will be shocked. The person you are talking about (Kangana), I have not got validation from her. My attempt was to say good stuff but..."
