After her victory on Saturday night, producer Tanuj Garg wrote, "Congrats to the powerhouse @taapsee, humaare #Bollywood ki female Ayushmann Khurrana. #SaandKiAankh #bestactress."
Taapsee replied to him saying, "What about calling me bollywood ki pehli Taapsee Pannu."

Taapsee's reply soon won the hearts of several fans on Twitter. “Yaaaas! Queen. Your success doesn’t need to always be equated to that of a man. You’re your own person and this is just amazing! Congratulations,” wrote one person in reply to Taapsee, while several others said that her reply was ‘befitting’. “Why does she has be compared to a man to show her achievement ? Why does she has to be compared with anyone? She has done enough to be known and acknowledged by who she is! It’s Taapsee,” wrote another person.
Garg replied to Taapsee's savage tweet and wrote: "Woh toh ho hi! Inimitable, singular, distinctive!"
