It's now Kangana Ranaut's sister Rangoli Chandel versus Taapsee Pannu, Anurag Kashyap and Bengali actor Vikram Chatterjee in a multi-way Twitter fight that has been raging since Wednesday night. Anurag and now Vikram have jumped to Taapsee's defence after a salvo of tweets fired by Rangoli from her seemingly inexhaustible supply, attacking Taapsee for not naming Kangana in a post praising her new film's trailer and for allegedly saying she needed a 'double filter.' Rangoli turned on Anurag when he protested that she had 'gone too far' and has now locked horns with Vikram Chatterjee. Meantime, Kangana told SpotboyE that Rangoli was simply 'protecting' her.
In response to Rangoli Chandel's tweet calling Taapsee Pannu a 'sasti copy,' Vikram Chatterjee tweeted: "With all due respect to Kangana Ranaut for the actress she is and zero to this woman who needs to just shut up, Taapsee you are a fantastic actress and we have loved your performances to the core." Unsurprisingly, it enraged Rangoli, who fired back in her minatory style with existential advice on opinions and the nature of democracy: "Why should I shut up you idiot, did I write it on your wall? You can write opinions on my opinions without realising my opinion is the mother opinion, very reason for your opinion."

Rangoli Chandel wasn't done with Anurag Kashyap either, posting this almost an entire day after her original Twitter offensive against him:
It began when Taapsee Pannu praised the trailer of Kangana Ranaut's new film Judgementall Hai Kya? without singling her out. It snowballed from there - here's how it went down.
Rangoli also called out Varun Dhawan for failing to name Kangana, a situation he quickly remedied:
Speaking to SpotboyE, Kangana Ranaut offered a defence of her sister: "I read Rangoli's tweets, she was lovingly teasing Varun as he never responded to her when she urged him to speak about Manikarnika, and Tapsee has been saying derogatory things about me - like needing a filter and being an extremist, which Rangoli is clearly upset about - this has nothing to do with her JHK tweet. The way Anurag is protecting Taapsee, my sister is protecting me! What's the matter, anybody has problems with her tweets, can unfollow her."
Rangoli Chandel, who is also Kangana Ranaut's manager, has been summoned by a Mumbai court in a defamation case filed by actor Aditya Pancholi and his wife Zarina Wahab based on her tweets. Kangana has also been summoned for defamation. In the recent past, Rangoli has used her Twitter account to accuse Hrithik Roshan and family of hitting and sedating his sister Sunaina over an alleged romance with a Muslim journalist.
