If you’re one of those people who love giving it back to social media trolls once in a while, then might I recommend a healthy browsing of Taapsee Pannu’s Twitter.
The Pink actress has on numerous occasions now managed to successfully school trolls and unwanted attention givers: whether they are shaming her for her bikini pics or clothes being ‘too revealing’, or stirring up rumours about her ‘marriage’!
And now, she’s gone and done it again!
Taapsee Pannu, who was shooting for Manmarziyaan in Kashmir, posted picture to bid farewell to the valley.
Dear Kashmir,
You truly proved to be “Paradise” for me. Lost and found wali feeling became beautiful courtesy you. Phir milenge…… agli baar jab mausam thoda behtar hoga!
Love

To which, she got this completely unnecessary but obviously a mindless troll’s reply….
‘Average’. This comment stems from the mentality that you need to be a looker to be an actress. You know, a ‘heroine’ that conforms to the society’s unreal standards of beauty? No acting skills? No problem! All heroines do is sit pretty and get into trouble, only to be saved by heroes, right?
But the fiery Taapsee wasn’t having any of it. She managed to keep it civil, graceful and still pack a sucker punch in her reply!
Probably little bit of acting 🙂
And it’s not so bad to look average, is it ? It’s the largest category in the world 💁🏻♀️ https://t.co/WCEDRU2cGX— taapsee pannu (@taapsee) April 17, 2018
Ooooooooh nice!
Mind you, it isn’t just me. Twitter thinks so too! They didn’t just think Taapsee’s reply was savage, but they were also all praise for her acting prowess and her ‘heroine’ looks!
Hear hear, Taapsee! We average folk gotta stick together, right?

As is the case with trolls who are all bark but no bite, the fella did not have the intestinal strength to reply or apologise. Instead, he did the next best thing—deleted his tweet.
Phew! Good riddance to bad rubbish, right?
And now, kids, it’s time for the moral of the story….
Don't mess with real actresses. 😍😘 https://t.co/035kbJQCxA
