Taapsee Pannu is one of those amazing actresses who never fails to shut anyone up for their sexist comments, be it an industry person or internet trolls. The actress is currently on cloud nine as she took home the black lady after winning the best actress critics choice honour for her performance in Saand Ki Aankh and sharing it with her co-star Bhumi Pednekar from the film. While several fans were congratulating Taapsee Pannu on her big win, Bollywood producer Tanujj Garg too took Twitter for the same but had a rather foot in the mouth moment with his comment.

The Thappad actress wrote, "What about calling me bollywood ki pehli Taapsee Pannu?” Taapsee's response is now winning the internet as several users further backed her saying that a women's achievements need not be compared to men and also that men's achievements should not be considered as benchmarks.
