Deepika Padukone is facing online backlash for not posting about Ranveer Singh’s ‘Dhurandhar 2’. While some criticize her silence, fans are rushing to her defense, emphasizing that social media doesn’t dictate real-life relationships and support.
Online Trolls Target Deepika’s ‘Silence’
The success of Dhurandhar The Revenge has been celebrated not just by the film’s team but also by members of the film fraternity. From Alia Bhatt to SS Rajamouli, and Ram Charan to Ram Gopal Varma, many filmmakers and actors from across India have congratulated director Aditya Dhar and actor Ranveer Singh for the film’s record-breaking start at the box office. However, over the weekend, many social media accounts began questioning Deepika Padukone for her ‘silence’ about the film, even as her husband Ranveer starred in it. Now, Deepika’s fans have come to support her amid the trolling.
Amid this, a sarcastic meme targeting Deepika was shared online which shared how she has not made a single post about Dhurandhar 2 or her husband Ranveer, who is being hailed for his performance. Under the meme, several comments criticised Deepika, calling her ‘jealous’ and even pitting her against other wives of actors and filmmakers.
Fans Defend Deepika’s Support for Ranveer
Many others questioned the expectation of social media posts as the only way to show appreciation. “She lives with him in person, she doesn’t need to post to congratulate. Grow up,” snapped one Redditor.
Many posts pointed out Ranveer gave three years of his life to Dhurandhar and had a baby with Deepika along the way, signifying the couple was clearly there for each other. “Leave the couple alone. He can’t give 3 years to a film without his wife’s support. Let’s not forget they even had a baby during the period. Instagram stories don’t mean a thing in real life,” one comment read.
Real-Life Support vs. Social Media Hype
Deepika may not have posted anything on social media since Dhurandhar 2’s release, but she was seen by Ranveer’s side on Sunday as the couple went out to lunch in Mumbai. The two actors then posed for selfies with fans outside the restaurant.
While some fans demand public displays of support, others emphasize that a relationship’s strength isn’t measured by social media. Deepika and Ranveer’s outing in Mumbai suggests a strong personal connection, despite the online noise.
