The ongoing rivalry between actresses Divya Khossla Kumar and Alia Bhatt has intensified, with Divya openly criticizing Alia on Instagram. Divya posted a photo of an empty theater, insinuating that Alia’s film Jigra is struggling to attract audiences.
Her post implied that the screenings were nearly empty, and she questioned the authenticity of the film’s box office numbers.
In her Instagram story, Divya Khossla wrote: “Went to Citi Mall PVR for Jigra show. Theatre was totally empty … all theaters going empty everywhere. #Aliabhatt me sach mein Bahut #Jigra hai.. khud hi tickets karide aur fake collections announce kar diye. Wonder why paid media is silent. #weshdnotfooltheaudience #truthoverlies #HappyDussehra Х (sic).” The sarcastic comment, “Sach Mein Bahut Jigra Hai,” suggested that Alia may have purchased tickets herself to inflate the success of Jigra.
Hours after Divya’s post, filmmaker Karan Johar, responded indirectly with a cryptic Instagram message. He posted, “Silence is the best speech you will ever give to fools,” which many believe was aimed at Divya.
While Karan did not directly address the accusations, the timing of the post indicated that it was a subtle defense of Alia.
This public spat is not the first time Divya and Alia have been at odds. Divya had previously acknowledged the similarities between Savi and Jigra, as both films feature jailbreak plots. However, she stressed that each film has a unique approach. Divya emphasized that Savi has been successful in theaters and on streaming platforms, topping charts in multiple countries. She believes the performance of Savi proves its distinct merit, despite the comparisons with Jigra.
The escalating feud between these actresses continues to draw public attention, with Divya’s latest remarks adding fuel to the controversy. Whether Alia or her team will respond further remains to be seen, what do you think?
