Deepika Padukone hits back at ‘silent treatment’ criticism on Dhurandhar 2
On Tuesday, Deepika reacted to a video posted by the Instagram handle Culture Circle on March 23, calling her out for missing the film's screening and attending Risab Rikhiram Sharma’s classical music concert in Mumbai the next day.
“Deepika Padukone just gave the “silent treatment” to a ₹500 crore budget. While Dhurandhar 2 shatters global records, Deepika skipped the premiere to hit a sitar concert with her in-laws instead. No posts, no praise, just silence. Is she making a statement against the director or just dodging the internet’s favorite drama? (sic),” read the caption on the Instagram reel.
Giving a cheeky reply, Deepika commented, “The latter my friend… P.S. I watched it way before any of you did. Now who is the joke on? (hand over mouth emoji).”
Dhurandhar 2's box office collections have slowed down, but it has beaten the lifetime India collections of Baahubali 2, by earning Rs 1,033.37 crore net in 20 days. It is now eyeing Allu Arjun's Pushpa 2.
