Exclusive: Taapsee Pannu reacts to reports of catfight with Jacqueline Fernandez

There are reports that Jacqueline Fernandez and Tapsee Pannu, who play Varun Dhawan’s leading ladies in David Dhawan’s remake of Judwaa, shared cold vibes while shooting in London.

But Tapsee stoutly refutes these rumours. “We all had a ball while shooting in London. Judwaa is as much fun as I expected it to be. I am enjoying every bit of my stint as a typical Bollywood heroine. As for these rumours of stress on location, they’re as lame as other baseless rumours that fly around.”

It is a standard practice for PRs to manufacture catfights between two rival actresses whenever they work together. Turn back the pages of Bollywood history, and you will find such planted stories wherever there are more than two ladies in a movie. 

It started with Yash Chopra’s Daag when Sharmila Tagore and Raakhee Gulzar were supposedly fighting over Rajesh Khanna. However, no such thing ever happened. Why look so far in the past? A few years ago, when Nargis Fakhri and Ileana D’Cruz were shooting together for David Dhawan’s Main Tera Hero, they allegedly were squabbling for Varun Dhawan’s attention. We notice a pattern here. Do you?
