At a recent promotional event in Mumbai for her upcoming film Khel Khel Mein, Bollywood actress Taapsee Pannu was busy with the film’s promotion, including the launch of its first song, "Hauli Hauli." The event saw several social media influencers in attendance. A video that caught netizens' attention showed Taapsee declining a selfie request from influencer Ananya Dwivedi. Although Taapsee greeted Ananya politely and shook hands with her, she chose not to pose for a selfie.

Ananya expressed her disappointment publicly on Instagram, suggesting that Taapsee could benefit from better PR training.

Ananya's comment :

 "That’s me. And I don’t understand why would someone deny a selfie when you’re already surrounded by cameras and the only reason influencers like me were called is to promote her song! She really needs a better PR training."

Ananya expressed frustration over Taapsee Pannu refusing a selfie, noting it was surprising given the actress was surrounded by cameras and the influencers were there to promote her song. Ananya suggested that Taapsee could improve her PR skills.

Ananya's public criticism of Taapsee's refusal to take a selfie underscores the complexities of public relations in the age of social media, suggesting that celebrities might need to navigate such situations with greater sensitivity to maintain positive relationships with their promotional partners.
