Actor Taapsee Pannu recently shut down a troll who insisted that she should speak in Hindi while addressing the audience at the 50th International Film Festival of India in Goa. Without losing her cool.
A video of the incident that is now viral on social media showed that the person demanded that the actor should speak in Hindi because she is a Hindi film actor.

The actor’s reply won the audience over and they erupted into an applause and a cheer.
