Farah Khan on rumours of unfollowing Deepika on Instagram
In an interview with Pinkvilla, Farah revealed, "To begin with we were not following each other earlier too. We had made a pact during Happy New Year shoot that we don’t communicate on Instagram, instead direct message and call. We don’t even wish birthday wishes on Insta because Deepika doesn’t like it."
The filmmaker further addressed rumours of her 8-hour work shift dig at Deepika. "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," she added.

Farah even revealed to the entertainment portal that she was one of the first few people who went to see Deepika when Dua was born. The filmmaker added that 'not everything is done for Instagram and paps'. "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 shared.
On a concluding note, Farah mentioned that such things can cause genuine problems between people. In order to avoid that, the filmmaker calls the other person before things get worse. "But people need to stop doing this," opined Farah.
