Deepika Padukone had been facing heavy trolling on social media for not posting anything about her husband Ranveer Singh’s film Dhurandhar 2: The Revenge. While the film performed strongly at the box office, many netizens questioned why the actress chose to stay silent and even skipped its screening.
The chatter intensified after a viral social media reel pointed out her absence and lack of public support. The caption suggested that while the film was breaking records, Deepika had maintained complete silence and attended a concert instead, raising speculation about whether it was a deliberate move or simply avoiding online drama.
Breaking her silence, Deepika responded to the reel in the comments section. She wrote, “The latter my friend… P.S. I watched it way before any of you did. Now who is the joke on?”

With this sharp reply, the actress made it clear that her silence was not a snub but a conscious decision to stay away from unnecessary speculation. Her comment also revealed that she had already watched the film before its public release, subtly reaffirming her support for Ranveer.
Deepika’s absence from the film’s screening in Mumbai had earlier sparked widespread debate online, especially since she was seen attending another event around the same time. This led to criticism and assumptions about her intentions, with some users even questioning her commitment to promoting her husband’s work.
However, her response has now shifted the narrative, suggesting that not every form of support needs to be displayed publicly on social media, and sometimes silence is simply a way to avoid fueling unnecessary controversy.
