The film industry has heaved a sigh of relief as the Ministry of Home Affairs has allowed film theaters to reopen with 50% occupancy from October 15 in areas outside containment zone. As the news surfaced, Taapsee Pannu took a dig at news channels and sarcastically thanked them for entertaining the country during the lockdown.

Taapsee wrote, "Now that theatres are allowed to open with 50% occupancy its only fair to expect some ‘news’ channels to focus 50% more towards ‘real’ news. Thank you guys, you held the fort of entertainment long enough on our behalf. We can take over from here on. #SharingCaring."

However, Taapsee is not the only industry insider, who took a dig at news channels' falling standards. Last month, Javed Akhtar also took potshots at them writing, “If Karan Johar had invited some farmers too for his party life would have been easier for our TV channels.They would not have had to choose between farmers protest and Karan’s party!. it seems that Karan’s do is the second most favourite PARTY of our channels."
