After the frenzy of unexpected events, Taapsee Pannu had taken to her Twitter handle and given a quirky reaction to the raids, mocking her 'apparent' wealth. The actress had written, "3 days of intense search of 3 things primarily 1. The keys of the "alleged" bungalow that I apparently own in Paris. Because summer holidays are around the corner. 2. The "alleged" receipt worth 5 crores to frame n keep for future pitching coz I've been refused that money before 3. My memory of 2013 raid that happened with me according to our honourable finance minister P.S- "not so sasti" anymore." Now, Taapsee Pannu opened up about her family's reaction to the raid in an interview with the Bombay Times.
Taapsee Pannu told the Bombay Times that she and her family are clueless about how to react to the raids. She said, "I was not available for a few days, but I was pretty much fine during that time. My family is okay, too. They're also asking me the same question, 'Are you fine?' And in return, I am asking them that, too. It's like we know something has happened, but we don't know what we are supposed to feel about it because we're just fine."
Further, Taapsee expressed that she has no skeletons to hide and said, "By now, people can see this is who I am; it's not a facade. I don't have skeletons in my cupboard. My honesty gives me the confidence to be fearless. Apart from my work, I'm a little lazy about other things, which is one of the reasons I can't lie. It takes a lot of effort to cover up a lie with more lies. It's better to say what you feel, but not at the cost of hurting others. Even if someone is targeting me in a certain tone, I don't feel the need to respond to the person in the same manner. What's the difference between us, then? I like to look at life in a simple, peaceful way. I will call out what is wrong, but without pointing fingers at individuals."

Please do something."
