After lashing out at trolls for spreading false rumours about her and Karan Johar ignoring Aayush Sharma, Farah Khan has once again schooled them for spreading false rumours about a tiff between her and Deepika Padukone. Recently, reports suggested that Farah and Deepika had unfollowed each other on Instagram. The rumours swirled after Farah seemingly took a dig at the 8-hour working shift that Deepika has demanded after becoming a mom in her latest vlog.

Farah blasts trolls

Quashing reports of her taking a dig at Deepika, 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!”

Giving an example of how good her bond is with Deepika, Farah shared that she was among the first people to visit the Jawan actor and Ranveer Singh when she gave birth to their daughter Dua. She said, “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.”

She added, “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 concluded. Deepika replied on the post, “Amen”.

What did Farah say in her vlog

Farah recently visited actor Rohit Saraf’s home for her vlog with Dilip. During the interaction, Rohit admitted that her camera-shy mother agreed to appear before the camera only for Farah’s vlog. Responding to the same, Farah said, “Haan itna time toh Deepika Padukone ne nahi lagaya mujhe haan bolne mein (Even Deepika didn’t take so much time to say yes).”

Later, Farah’s cook Dilip asked, “Deepika Padukone ma’am kab aayengi humare show main (When will Deepika ma’am come to our show)?” To this, Farah joked, “jiss din tu gaon jaayega naa uss din aayegi (The day you go to your village).” She then took a dig at the actor, remarking, “Deepika Padukone ab sirf 8 ghanta shoot karti hai, usko show pe aane ka time nahi hai (She now shoots only for 8 hours, she doesn’t have time to come to our show).”

Deepika 8-hour shift demand controversy

Deepika Padukone has been making headlines after she exited high-profile projects like Sandeep Reddy Vanga’s Spirit and the sequel of Kalki 2898 AD. Earlier, it was announced that Triptii Dimri is replacing Deepika in Spirit, and recently makers of Kalki 2898 AD announced parting ways with Deepika as their project “deserves that commitment and much more.” Many reports state that Deepika exited the project after her demands, including the 8-hour shift demand, were refused by the makers.
