Anuradha Shrivastava has done Post Graduation in Mass Communication and Journalism. She likes to keep herself up-to-date with all that's happening in the world of Entertainment. When she is not working, you'll probably catch her watching movies.

Actress Taapsee Pannu has been a part of some amazing films. She chose her roles wisely and this is the reason she was recently compared to actor Ayushmann Khurrana. The lady won an award for her performance in Saand Ki Aankh and producer Tanuj Garg complimented her by calling, 'Bollywood ki female Ayushmann Khurrana." The actress, who is known for sassy replies, said something that is winning the internet.

Taapsee wrote, "What about calling me bollywood ki pehli Taapsee Pannu."

Check out her tweet:

As soon as she tweeted, people started appreciating the lady for calling out people with misogynistic views.

There is no denying the fact that Ayushmann is a wonderful actor who has done movies on socially relevant issues but it is unfair to compare Taapsee with him.

Check out how people reacted:

Female hai - Taapsee Pannu hi pls boliye! :) she’s not a xerox or copy of anyone, but an original of her own self. Let’s give that recognition to her, rather than comparing her to any male actor :) 2020 it is, pls!

Why is she 'Ayushmaan Khurrana'? Why can't she just be Tapsee Pannu?

Taapsee is riding high on success after the trailer of her upcoming film, Thappad received a positive response from the cinema lovers. In fact, Union Minister, Smriti Irani, couldn't stop herself from praising it. In it, Taapsee plays the role of a woman who refuses to go back to her husband after he slapped her.

The movie is directed by Anubhav Sinha and is all set to hit the screens on February 28. Apart from Taapsee, it also features Ratna Pathak Shah, Manav Kaul, Dia Mirza and Tanvi Azmi.
