She took to social media and, with just a few words, shut down all the rumours that she’d been ignoring the film’s huge success on purpose.

Things really kicked off when an Instagram page called her out, wondering why she hadn’t posted about the spy thriller’s big box office numbers.

When Deepika Padukone praised Ranveer Singh

Contrary to the narrative circulating online, Deepika has previously spoken about her pride in Ranveer Singh’s film. Around the release of the first instalment in December 2025, she shared a supportive message on Instagram Stories, encouraging audiences to watch the action drama and congratulating the team.

Her appreciation extended beyond social media posts. During an intimate pre-birthday meet-and-greet with fans earlier this year, Deepika openly celebrated the film’s success. At the event, she asked the audience if they had watched Dhurandhar. When the crowd responded with an enthusiastic “yes,” the actor was seen smiling broadly, clearly pleased with the film’s reception.
