Taking to her Instagram handle, Deepika Padukone commented on a reel on social media which highlighted her absence at the Dhurandhar 2’s screening and asked if “her silence was a delivery statement or is it the internet reading too much into celebrity social media silence?”

I watched it way before any of you did. Now who is the joke on?” While the netizens came in support of her, saying, “Have you forgotten she stays with him?”
