Deepika Padukone: Deepika Padukone’s departure from Kalki 2 has sent a storm online, with netizens and fans wondering what could have possibly driven her away. Guesses have varied from reports of being a diva on location to alleged rudeness. In the midst of all this buzz, another veteran actress, Tabu, found herself in the news—unconnected to anything related to the movie, but due to an online movement.
Tabu is said to have enjoyed an Instagram reel that most people saw as a veiled attack on Deepika. The reel took a clip from a previous interview of Aamir Khan, where he had spoken about actors sometimes making excessive demands on sets, like asking for big teams or additional staff. Although the video did not name Deepika, social media users quickly linked it to the Kalki 2 controversy.
This generated speculation that Tabu’s agreement in kind was either tacit approval of the message or she was passively taking a position against Deepika. The net was quick to make assumptions, as comments and threads argued whether Tabu’s gesture meant her personal opinion about the actress or was an exhibition of professionalism.
The reality reveals a much different narrative. There is no valid source backing up any of the rumors about Deepika leaving the movie. The subject Instagram reel was merely a general remark by Aamir Khan about the movie industry and has absolutely nothing to do with Deepika. To assume that Tabu’s like carried criticism or personal judgment towards Deepika is not justified. Social media engagement, like liking a post, tends to be informal and does not necessarily translate to support of a specific opinion.
This episode points to the rapidity with which disinformation spreads on the internet. In the era of instant reaction and viral posts, even an apparently insignificant move gets magnified. Connecting unrelated statements or social media participation to a sensationalized controversy can trigger unnecessary tension and misapprehension.
As the Kalki 2 drama keeps building, it is essential that fans and followers keep verified facts from speculations. Tabu’s social networking status, in this instance, was not malicious, and the controversy surrounding Deepika continues unabated, unverified by reliable sources.
