With a bit of flair and charm, actress Deepika Padukone has dealt with the buzz regarding her lack of comments on her husband Ranveer Singh’s hit movie Dhurandhar: The Revenge, giving a pointed reply to online speculation. The actress responded in the comments of an Instagram post, where users were curious about why she hadn't openly acknowledged the film’s success. The page also conducted a poll asking fans if they thought her silence was a "planned ignore" or if they were simply overthinking it. Deepika replied directly, stating, “I watched it long before any of you,” followed by, “So who’s the one being laughed at? ” – a clear retort to those analyzing her online presence. Her absence from the excitement surrounding her husband's movie led to conversations among fans, with many questioning her visible support. However, her latest remark indicates a rejection of the notion that social media activity is the only way to show personal or professional support.

This is not the first occasion the actress has backed Ranveer Singh's Dhurandhar. Around its debut in December 2025, she shared a positive message on Instagram Stories, commending the first part of the action film and motivating viewers to check it out. She also congratulated the team, including director Aditya Dhar, as well as the cast and crew. During an intimate gathering before her birthday, Padukone also shared her pride in the film's enormous success. The actress asked the audience if they had seen Dhurandhar. When everyone enthusiastically responded with a loud "yes," she was seen glowing with happiness. Directed by Aditya Dhar, Dhurandhar: The Revenge has become one of the largest Hindi hits in the past few years. The film has recently surpassed Rs 1,000 crore nett in India, achieving a new standard for the industry while maintaining a strong run in theaters. On its 20th day, the movie exceeded SS Rajamouli's Baahubali: The Conclusion, making it the second-highest film, just behind Allu Arjun's Pushpa 2, in terms of nett earnings.

With its scale and ongoing box office success, Dhurandhar: The Revenge continues to break records set by films such as Pushpa 2 and Dangal, cementing its status as one of the biggest commercial triumphs in Indian cinema.
