Mumbai: Taapsee Pannu on Sunday drew the ire of social media users for supporting Anurag Kashyap over a sexual harassment row.
On Saturday, actress Payal Ghosh had accused Anurag of sexual misconduct in a tweet.
Taapsee, who worked with Anurag in 2018 film ‘Manmarziyaan’, shared a picture with the director and wrote, “For you, my friend, are the biggest feminist I know. See you on the sets soon of yet another piece of art that shows how powerful and significant women are in the world you create (sic).”
For you, my friend , are the biggest feminist I know.
See you on the sets soon of yet another piece of art that shows how powerful and significant women are in the world you create 🙂 ? https://t.co/M9AgMDHTPH— taapsee pannu (@taapsee) September 20, 2020
Exposing her hypocrisy on the issue, the users reminded her of her 2018 post in which she had talked about women embarrassing their fellow women by not standing by the movement.
So @taapsee what happened to #BelieveAllWomen? Or because the perv sitting on your lap is YOUR perv, no need to #SmashPatriarchy? pic.twitter.com/pmHNDW9ykd

Dear @taapsee,
I know you can’t speak against Anurag as you have to secure your career 1st. But when you will be done with your career and just like Payal you will share your experience with directors and producers, we will stand with you instead of calling out your hypocrisy. https://t.co/K7DMTVsQX4— Shash (@BefittingFacts) September 20, 2020
I don’t think this #Metoo can reach any productive conclusion until we stop celebrating the HYPOCRITES and RAPE ENABLERS to begin with. Embarrassment becomes even more wen women themselves don’t stand by this movement, rather go against it. It could’ve been you! #NotDone @taapsee https://t.co/0UEbsPschM

Awww @taapsee so good to see you #SmashPatriarchy by ‘celebrating the accused and guilty to begin with’. How did you achieve such exquisite levels of #hypocrisy though? Been taking private tuitions from @sardesairajdeep? pic.twitter.com/Ds40GpSbNy

Isn’t it very convenient for you madam @taapsee to take a stand when you deem as per your opportunities. Allegations on #nanapatekar required your fury because of lack of opportunities. Now supporting tharki @anuragkashyap72 is also to gain opportunities. Kya baat hai larki pic.twitter.com/zF32HZ5oKO
