Deepika Padukone Finally Responds to Public Criticism Over Dhurandhar 2 Silence Bollywood actress Deepika Padukone has finally addressed the backlash she faced for her silence regarding the release of Dhurandhar 2, the sequel to her 2023 film Dhurandhar. For weeks, fans and critics had questioned her lack of public engagement with the movie, which has been a major box office hit. The controversy intensified as some viewers accused her of not supporting the film or sharing her thoughts on its success. However, Padukone broke her silence on April 7, responding to the online criticism through an Instagram video. In the video, she addressed the questions raised by her followers, who had asked why she hadn’t posted about the film or shared her reviews. Padukone’s response was laced with humor and defiance, as she questioned whether the criticism was intentional or if people were misinterpreting her actions. She stated, “I’ve always been the first to know about your jokes. Now, who’s laughing?” Her remarks were seen as a direct rebuttal to those who had mocked her for not publicly endorsing the film. The controversy surrounding her silence began after Dhurandhar 2 surpassed 1,000 crore rupees at the box office, becoming one of the highest-grossing films of the year. Directed by Aditya Dharm, the film is a spy-action thriller that continues the story of the first installment. Padukone’s character, Jaskirat Singh, is portrayed by actor Jasbir Singh, who also played the same role in the original. Despite the film’s commercial success, Padukone’s absence from public discussions about it sparked debates online. Fans speculated that her silence might be due to personal reasons, while others suggested she was avoiding the spotlight to focus on her other projects.#dhurandhar_2 #deepika_padukone #aditya_dharm #jasbir_singh #jio_cinema
