Taapsee Pannu is the unabashed sass queen of the Indian film fraternity. Be it shutting down trolls with her simple yet edgy tweets to showing the right path to ignore unwanted negativity, she has done it all and this is what makes her stand tall. Over the years, the actress has developed a thick skin to hate. Courtesy of her razor-sharp sense of humour, Taapsee has silenced many naysayers.
As she celebrates her birthday on August 1, it is the best occasion to look back at some of her sassiest, wittiest and brutally honest tweets that answered trolls in the best way possible.
In August 2022, when a Twitter user wrote, "4.7 Million followers of Taapsee and just 5-8 RTs on her Tweets. The same Taapsee will blame the audience for not watching her movie," Taapsee replied, "Try harder". The Twitter user added, "Indeed, you need to..." Putting on the hat of sass, the actress reacted, "Aadhi toh aapki janta hai mere followers mein jisne relevant bana rakha hai toh shukriya and you earned my attention so congratulations."

When a user tweeted in 2021, "Apni car de de pannuâ¦sab kaam twitter per hi karegi⦠baketi karwa lo iss sasti maal se," Taapsee gave it back saying, "Can you please shut up! Like just STFU ! If this is all u wanna say in these times then hold on until this country gets back to breathing normally and then get back to your shit ways until then DONT CROWD MY TIMELINE WITH YOUR NONSENSE and let me do what I am doing!"
A Twitter user criticised Taapsee for her physique and wrote, Ye Mard Ki Body Wali sirf @taapsee Hi Ho Sakti hai." To which reacted by saying, "All I will say isâ¦. Just remember this line and wait for 23rd September :) And advance mein THANK YOU I worked hard for this compliment."
When a person on Instagram called her 'faltu heroine', here's what she said: "Exactly kya utha utha ke? Kyunki uthaya toh hai maine, standard but aapko shayad nahi samajh aaye."
"Worst looking actress in Bollywood. Hope I don't have to see her again. 2... 3 movies more and she will be out of Bollywood," read a tweet. Charring the user to ashes, she wrote, "But 3 toh already ho gayi... Mulk, Manmarziyaan and then Badla and sorry to disappoint you but main already do aur sign kar chuki hu... thoda toh aur jhelna padega."
Happy birthday, sass queen! Keep burning trolls with your witty replies.
