It is safe to say
Taapsee Pannu has changed the face of Indian cinema when it comes to having actresses carry a movie on their shoulders. After delivering some spectacular performances in movies like Pink, Thappad, Badla, and more, Taapsee became a household name. However, with fame comes responsibility and controversy.
Tappsee Pannu has been the victim of
many controversies in recent times. Be it netizens trolling her on social media or Kangana Ranaut picking a bone with her, the Pink actress has handled it all like a badass boss.
As Taapsee celebrates her 36th birthday today, let's revisit some of her engrossing controversies that grabbed several eyeballs.
1. Taapsee Pannu on nepotism
The nepotism debate is unending, and joining the bandwagon was the
Hasseen Dillruba actress. She has spoken enough and more about how the star kids are preferred over outside talent whose craft is more polished than the formers.

While she has worked hard to earn her place, the actress still believes familial influence powers merit and talent.
2. Twitter trolls
If there's someone who should give lessons on how to handle trolls like a badass boss, it has to be Taapsee Pannu. She has been the victim of unnecessary and uninvited trolling on social media. However, this hasn't stopped her from expressing her honest opinions on social and
environmental issues or her political stance.
Not only the trolls, but the comments on her pictures have seen some of the wittiest replies from the actress.
Here's a classic example that took social media by storm: Taapsee once uploaded a picture of herself in a bikini, and a Twitter user wrote that he loved her 'body parts.' To which Pannu replied, 'Wow! I like them too. BTW, which is your favorite? Mine is the cerebrum.'
3. Clash with Kangana Ranaut
It isn't surprising that the Fashion actress took a dig at Taapsee. It was her sister Rangoli Chandel who called Pannu a "sasti copy (cheap knockoff) of
Kangana Ranaut." When the Thappad actress was asked how she manages to invite controversies and headlines about something as irrelevant as her sneeze, Taapsee's response won the internet.

Otherwise, so many people go around sneezing who cares? But I am glad people find something to talk about in even half a photo of mine. Maybe I copied someone just by being born a female."
Well, we love how she manages to handle everything like it's a piece of cake. Radio City wishes Taapsee Pannu a very happy birthday.
