Deepika Padukone shuts down rumours on her Dhurandhar 2 ‘silence’: 'Watched it before you did'

Ranveer Singh is riding high on the success of Dhurandhar and its sequel, both of which have crossed over Rs 1300 crore. While the film continues making the right noise, the online chatter quickly turned to an unexpected question: why hadn’t his wife, actor Deepika Padukone posted about it? The silence sparked speculation, and, inevitably, a wave of trolling, as usual.

Deepika finally stepped in, to set the record straight.

Deepika Padukone addresses the noise

Taking to Instagram, Deepika responded to a viral reel that dissected her absence from the film’s online buzz. The post questioned whether her silence was intentional or simply overanalysed, as is often the case on social media.

Not one to let the narrative spiral, Deepika dropped a pointed reply in the comments:
“The latter my friend… P.S. I watched it way before any of you did. Now who is the joke on?”

Fans rally in support

Her response quickly struck a chord with fans, who flooded the comments with messages of support. Many pointed out that public displays on social media don’t define personal relationships, while others noted that choosing to stay private can be its own form of support.

As many said: not everything needs to be posted to be real.
