Clarion India

NEW DELHI – Bollywood actors Taapsee Pannu and Anurag Kashyap on Saturday reacted to the raids conducted on their properties by the income-tax department.

Keys to an alleged Paris bungalow, a receipt for ₹ 5 crore, and “memory of 2013 raid” – these are what the income-tax (I-T) department primarily found during its raid on properties linked to Tapsee Pannu, the actor said in three tweets. She ended the last one of those with a post script: “Not so sasti” anymore.

Her posts came three days after Wednesday’s raids over alleged tax evasion. Filmmaker Anurag Kashyap, too, was raided by the I-T department. Both actors, who are critical to Narendra Modi government, were reportedly questioned by officials in Pune.

Searches took place at 30 locations in Mumbai and Pune. Later in the day, he, too, seemed to make light of the actions he faced with a tweet.

In the first tweet she posted today, she said, “Three days of intense search. Of three things primarily: 1. The keys of the ‘alleged’ bungalow that I apparently own in Paris. Because summer holidays are around the corner.”

She followed it up with two more tweets.

Kashyap later tweeted saying they had resumed work. His post included a picture that captured a leisurely moment with Ms Pannu during a shooting session.

“And we restart #DoBaaraa .. with all our love to all the haters,” he captioned his instagram photograph,refraining from directly mentioning the I-T raids.
