Taapsee Pannu has been called names by Kangana Ranaut's sister Rangoli Chandel on Twitter but the actor says she is not too bothered by the comments as they have no bearing on her life and work.

When asked about being targeted by another outsider in a group interview here, Taapsee said, "Those who matter to you, matter to you. For me, she (Kangana) is a very good actress, she was and she still is... But other than this, she doesn't affect me in my life. It doesn't affect me what she says. There are a lot people saying lot of things on my Twitter timeline."
"I might not put that out that way. It doesn't mean I don't have ways and means to work my things around, it is just that my way is different. I will not get to that level. In a way, I wanted it to happen the way it happened. Because I wanted people to see the difference."
