Deepika Padukone shuts down trolls over her ‘Silence’ on Ranveer Singh’s Dhurandhar success

Dhurandhar: The Revenge has been making waves globally, with Ranveer Singh receiving widespread appreciation for his performance. However, amid the film’s roaring success, fans began questioning why Deepika Padukone remained unusually quiet and did not publicly celebrate her husband’s achievement.

Deepika Padukone's silence led to widespread speculation, with many drawing assumptions about the couple’s dynamic. Some even criticised her, suggesting that Ranveer Singh “deserves better.” The lack of visible support on social media fueled ongoing debates among fans.

Deepika Padukone shuts down trolls on 'silent treatment'

Addressing the controversy, Deepika Padukone has now shut down the trolls with a direct and sharp response. The discussion was sparked by a viral social media post, which read:

"Deepika Padukone just gave the 'silent treatment' to a Rs 500 crore budget. While Dhurandhar: The Revenge 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 favourite drama?" the post added.

Responding in the comments section, Deepika Padukone wrote:

"The latter, my friend. P.S.: I watched it way before any of you did. Now who's the joke on?"

Her reply quickly gained traction online, with fans rallying behind her and flooding the comments section with messages of support. Many stepped in to defend the actor, pushing back against the criticism she had been facing.

Deepika’s absence from the celebratory noise surrounding her husband’s film had earlier sparked discussions, with fans questioning her lack of visible endorsement. However, her recent comment suggests a clear move against the notion that social media activity is the sole indicator of personal or professional support.

Notably, this is not the first time Deepika has expressed support for the film. Around its release in December 2025, she had shared a positive note on Instagram Stories, praising the first installment and encouraging audiences to watch it. She also congratulated the team, including director Aditya Dhar, along with the cast and crew.
