After Deepika Padukone's Chhapaak, social media trend demanded to boycott her upcoming film, Thappad, however, Taapsee did not stay silent about the same and responded about her view about the same. For the uninformed, Thappad is about domestic violence and has been facing the wrath of pro-CAA Twitter users as both Anubhav Sinha and Taapsee have been vocal in their views against the citizenship act.

Opening up about the same, in a recent interview, Taapsee said, "I think personal opinions of actors should not affect their profession and I don’t really think it does to an extent. It takes about 1000-2000 tweets to trend a certain hashtag. Does that really affect a film? I don’t think so. I might have different social and political views from a lot of people but that does not mean people will not go and watch the film. An actor is never bigger than a film. A film has hundreds of people involved in it. It is stupid to decide whether or not you will watch a movie based on an actor’s socio-political views."

In December 2019, Taapsee was a part of a protest that showed solidarity with JNU students, "I haven’t expressed my views on CAA because I haven’t studied about it. But the visuals which I saw in Jamia, I didn’t feel those were pleasant. I felt really sad when I saw the videos where students were talking about their plight. I feel something big has happened or something big is going to happen."
