Deepika Padukone has found herself at the centre of online chatter after skipping the special screening of husband Ranveer Singh’s latest release, Dhurandhar 2: The Revenge.
While the film opened to massive box office numbers and industry buzz, Padukone’s absence from the high-profile screening did not go unnoticed. It quickly triggering speculation and debate across social media.
No show at screening, no public post
Padukone was notably missing from the Mumbai screening attended by Ranveer Singh and the film’s cast and crew. What further fuelled the conversation was her continued silence on social media, with no congratulatory post or public endorsement of the film even days after its release.
Concert appearance adds to speculation
Around the same time, Padukone was seen attending a sitar concert in Mumbai with her in-laws, including Ranveer Singh’s mother and sister. The public outing, juxtaposed with her absence from the screening, intensified online reactions, with some users questioning her priorities and level of support for the film.
No official statement so far
Despite the growing chatter, Padukone has not issued any statement explaining why she skipped the screening.
This lack of clarity has led to a wave of speculation, ranging from scheduling conflicts to broader personal or professional reasons, though none of these have been confirmed.
Internet reacts, and overreacts
Social media discourse around the incident has been sharply divided. Some users criticised her absence, calling it unusual given the film’s scale. Others defended her, arguing that public appearances are personal choices. A section of the conversation also veered into unrelated debates, amplifying the noise around the issue.
In an industry where public support between celebrity couples is often closely watched, even a single absence can snowball into a larger narrative. But at this point, the facts remain simple:
-Deepika Padukone skipped the screening
-She attended another event
-And she has not publicly addressed it
Everything else is speculation.
