Taapsee Pannu gets into a twitter brawl over 'irresponsible journalism'

PUBLISHED DATE | 31/May/2018

In yet another episode of media reports and celebrity denials, actress Tapsee Pannu found herself calling out a media outlet for quoting a non-factual statement from a "source close to her". It started when reports of Tapsee refusing Nawazuddin Siddique's upcoming movie made headlines. The outlet had quoted a source (which they later claimed to be a PR from Tapsee's team) as saying, “Honey (Trehan, director of the movie) and Taapsee were in talks for the murder mystery, but the actress didn’t like the project. Apparently, she wasn’t too keen on being paired with Nawaz in the film, hence she refused the offer.”

Taapsee took no time to find out where this story had started and called out the media outlet for 'irresponsible journalism'. However the author of the said piece (which still stands unmodified) retorted that Taapsee should be dealing this with her PR Agency and not him for they were the ones who planted this story. While the actress found support in some people who were of the opinion that the media person should have contacted her directly before posting a statement that sent out a negative feeler, some believed that it was a simple judgement error. Nevertheless, the heated argument still stands available on twitter and there seemed to have been no apologies issued from anywhere.

Irresponsible journalism at its best yet another time. Wish u have basic courtesy to contact the people concerned to know the truth before exploiting the power of your pen. #NotCool #SadStateOfAffairs pic.twitter.com/OzY9jFZNJk

I wonder if it’s MY reason or the reason YOU wanted me to give to help your headlines! #IrresponsibleJournalism #NotCool https://t.co/fFv9HvWFex

Before jumping the gun and putting the blame on a journalist, sometimes actors need to check if it's their team who's planted the story. And if anyone's irresponsible then, it's them. #NotCool https://t.co/AZSquaORJO

Really!!!?? Then y not mention the “source” instead of keeping it so ambiguous if u r so ‘responsible’ . Will help me also to know the truth :) n if u can’t produce a proof for the same then kindly contact the actor next time before publishing such statements https://t.co/wLXzgGX4oA

How can a 'responsible' actress not know which stories your PR teams are pitching to media houses or journalists? As a third person, I'm not supposed to know about this miscommunication. From the next time, you will get a text even if ur team sends a story. Point noted. https://t.co/EQcrLTBq1h

But before calling out a journalist and labelling him, I wish you too should have done proper checking about who the source of the story is. Nothing else. It's always easy to put the blame on the reporter. #NotCool https://t.co/EQcrLTBq1h

A responsible actress won’t know of what didn’t happen, but surely of what happened with some tangible proof to support it. So I only wish I don’t have to produce it Coz the trust of readers is at stake who still believe in responsible journalism https://t.co/PPEGu12972
