\"RanveerRanveer Singh and Deepika Padukone tied the knot in November 2018.Deepika Padukone shuts down trolls<\/p>\n

Deepika recently took to Instagram to address the growing speculation around her silence. Putting an end to the chatter, the actor responded to a reel that questioned whether her lack of posts was a deliberate statement or simply being overanalyzed by people on the internet, shutting down the ongoing debate.<\/p>\n

The caption of the Instagram reel read, \u201cDeepika Padukone just gave the “silent treatment” to a \u20b9500 crore budget. While Dhurandhar 2 shatters global records, Deepika skipped the premiere to hit a sitar concert with her in-laws instead. No posts, no praise, just silence. Is she making a statement against the director or just dodging the internet\u2019s favorite drama?\u201d<\/p>\n

Deepika also stumbled across the reel and took to the comment section to respond to the buzz. Shutting down all the speculations, Deepika wrote, \u201cThe latter my friend\u2026 P.S. I watched it way before any of you did. Now who is the joke on?\u201d<\/p>\n

Soon after Deepika dropped her comment, fans rallied behind the actor, flooding the section with messages of support and stepping in to defend her against the criticism.<\/p>\n

\u201cMaybe she doesnt wanna steal the limelight off her husband at the premiere, which obviously will happen,\u201d one comment read, with another writing, \u201cShe\u2019s busy taking care of their kid\u2026leave her alone.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cShe doesn’t need public validation about her relationship with her husband,\u201d one wrote, with one sharing, \u201cShe is not taking from his spotlight. That’s how she is supporting him.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cSupport doesn\u2019t mean to showcase everything on social media,\u201d one mentioned.<\/p>\n

\u201cHonestly, if there’s nothing wrong with a celebrity’s marriage, somehow, haters will make an issue! Let them be. She doesn’t conform to social media trends, she never has. Just leave them alone and wish the family well,\u201d one comment read.<\/p>\n
