Overview
- Divya Khosla Kumar shared an Instagram audio of a phone call in which Mukesh Bhatt is heard denying he said she manufactured the Savi–Jigra controversy for publicity.
- In the clip, Bhatt says no one asked him and he told no one about such claims, calling the backlash something created by people with vested interests.
- He suggests the negative coverage was planned and hints it came from an 'other camp,' noting the timing coincided with Divya's birthday.
- The release follows Bhatt’s recent interview with Lehren Retro where he called her allegations a publicity stunt and defended Alia Bhatt, citing Gumrah as Jigra’s inspiration.
- Divya reiterates her accusations of copying and inflated box-office figures for Jigra and says the episode reflects hierarchy, lobbying, and gatekeeping in Bollywood, drawing fresh pushback from voices like filmmaker Vasan Bala.
