Bollywood actor Taapsee Pannu is known for her wit and her outspoken nature. The actress speaks her mind and is quite active on her social media platform.
Netizens have been trending #BoycottThappad on social media, calling a ban over the film for the leading lady, Taapsee’s involvement in an anti-CAA protest.
For those unaware, the actress had joined a peaceful protest at Carter Road in Mumbai, supporting students of Jawaharlal Nehru University in January, who were attacked by a masked mob in January.
Several netizens compared her move to that of Deepika Padukone, who stood in solidarity with the students in Delhi.
Here are the tweets:
