In his post, Thapliyal lauded Taapsee’s daring choices, pointing out that her career trajectory—from the legal drama "Pink" to socially relevant films like "Mulk", the powerful "Thappad", the nuanced "Manmarziyaan" and the intense "Asur"—sets her apart from her peers.

He specifically called out the upcoming Netflix action‑thriller "Gandhari", urging viewers to experience the film that showcases Taapsee’s relentless pursuit of new artistic heights. The post quickly amassed a large number of likes and supportive remarks.

The narrative follows Bani, a mother whose daughter is snatched at a railway station. After a violent encounter leaves Bani blind, she chooses to fight the child‑trafficking gang while blindfolded, determined to rescue her child.
