Farah Khan and Deepika Padukone were rumoured to have a fallout after their fans noticed that the duo didn’t follow each other on Instagram. This also comes after the filmmaker’s indirect comments on Deepika’s eight-hour work demand. However, Farah has put these rumours to rest and asked people not to create fake controversies.
Clarifying why she does not follow Deepika and her comments, Farah told Pinkvilla, “To begin with, we were not following each other earlier, too!! We had made a pact during the Happy New Year shoot that we wouldn’t communicate on Instagram; instead, direct message and call. We don’t even wish birthday wishes on Insta because Deepika doesn’t like it. Also, my 8 hour comment wasn’t a dig it was to make Dilip say that he will now also work 8 hours when he actually works just for 2 hours!”
“No one even knows I was one of the first few people who went to see Deepika when Dua was born, not everything is done for Instagram and paps,” the filmmaker further revealed.
“This new trend of making anything into a fake controversy has to stop. Last week it was that Karan (Johar) and I ignored Aayush (Sharma) on the red carpet, when in reality we had just met him down before coming up. It can genuinely cause problems between people; thankfully, I pick up the phone and call them before it gets worse! But people need to stop doing this”, she added.
Deepika and Farah share a close friendship and have shown support for each other several times. The actress made her big debut in Bollywood with Farah Khan’s blockbuster ‘Om Shanti Om’ alongside Shah Rukh Khan and Arjun Rampal. Later, Deepika also starred in Farah’s 2014 film ‘Happy New Year’.
