Pannu said, “Even my parents don’t scold me in that tone. I don’t even know how to describe it to you. I was given a schedule to follow. I was doing that. Why should I be at the receiving end of this tone, as if I have committed a crime?”  The actor maintained that it has become easier to degrade someone based on one-sided stories in the age of social media.

Adding that celebrities don’t lose their cool unnecessarily in public, she added, “I refuse to accept I was disrespectful to anyone. I was calm I kept smiling respectfully although that gentleman did not respect me at all. He kept making faces at me and he talked to me in a very derogatory tone. I did not want to retaliate. I folded my hands and accepted whatever he had to say.” Taapsee said she’s a public figure and not public property and stressed the need for the paparazzi to be more respectful towards celebrities.
