Suzanne Bernert’s Criticism of Deepika Padukone
Actor Deepika Padukone recently took a playful route to shut down the chatter around her ‘silence’ on Ranveer Singh ’s Dhurandhar 2. Now, actor Suzanne Bernert has taken a swipe at her explanation, saying she doesn’t understand why Deepika isn’t coming forward to publicly praise her husband for the film’s success.
“Dear Deepika (folded hand emoji), This isn’t a flex! We are still waiting for you to openly praise your husband. I don’t understand why you are not doing it. #Dhurandhar2TheRevenge,” she wrote.
This comes after Deepika took to Instagram to address the growing speculation around her silence over the success of Dhurandhar 2. Putting an end to the chatter, the actor responded to a reel that questioned whether her lack of posts was a deliberate statement or simply being overanalyzed by people on the internet.
Deepika’s Response to ‘Dhurandhar 2’ Silence
The caption of the Instagram reel read, “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?”
Deepika took to the comment section to respond to the buzz. Shutting down all the speculations, Deepika wrote, “The latter my friend… P.S. I watched it way before any of you did. Now who is the joke on?”
Meanwhile, Suzanne has worked on projects such as Ramdhanu – The Rainbow, Honeymoon Travels Pvt. Ltd, Kasautii Zindagii Kay, Chakravartin Ashoka Samrat, 7 RCR, and The Accidental Prime Minister. She is the widow of Akhil Mishra, best known for his role as a librarian in 3 Idiots.
Background on ‘Dhurandhar’ and its Context
Aditya Dhar’s Dhurandhar was set in Lyari, Karachi, an area known for its history of gang wars and violent turf battles. It revolved around covert intelligence operations in the background of geopolitical and terror events like the Kandahar plane hijack, the 2001 Parliament Attack and the 26/11 Mumbai attacks.
The sequel delves into the origins of Ranveer Singh’s character, Hamza aka Jaskirat Singh Rangi, revealing the motivations behind his mission. It also takes the story forward, showing him taking control of the power dynamics in Lyari while working to dismantle a terror network in Pakistan that threatens India. The Aditya Dhar-directed film opened with earnings of ₹ 75 crore gross in paid previews, and minted ₹ 165 crore on release day. Till now, the film has surged past the ₹ 1040 crore mark at the domestic box office and minted over ₹ 1600 globally.
The exchange highlights public interest in celebrity relationships and reactions. While Deepika dismissed speculation, Bernert’s critique adds another layer to the ongoing discussion about public perception and personal choices within the Bollywood spotlight.
