Taapsee Pannu Breaks Silence On IT Raids; Slams FM Nirmala Sitharaman For Her Statement About 2013 Raid

A few days ago, the Income Tax Department conducted raids on Bollywood actress Taapsee Pannu and filmmaker Anurag Kashyap’s properties in Mumbai. Some netizens felt that this was a result of their critical views for the central government which they often share on social media. Well, Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman dismissed these allegations and stated that back in 2013, ‘the same person’ was raided. She also added that it wasn’t an issue when the previous government raided them but this time it’s the Modi government so it’s a problem.

Well, Taapsee has finally broken her silence on the whole controversy and has taken to her official social media handle to react to the reports as well as Sitharaman’s statement. The actress wrote: “3 days of intense search of 3 things primarily- 1. The keys of the “alleged” bungalow that I apparently own in Paris. Because summer holidays are around the corner, 2. The “alleged” receipt worth 5 crores to frame n keep for future pitching coz I’ve been refused that money before, 3. My memory of 2013 raid that happened with me according to our honourable finance minister.” She went on to add, “P.S- “not so sasti” anymore.”

For the uninitiated, the ‘not so sasti anymore’ line was added in reference to Kangana Ranaut’s sister Rangoli Chandel’s earlier comment. She had called Taapsee a ‘cheap rip off’ of Kangana. On the work front, Pannu and Kashyap are currently busy shooting for their next collaboration, titled Dobaara.
