Overview

• In a new interview, Farah Khan says she and Deepika Padukone had already agreed during Happy New Year to avoid Instagram and to communicate by calls or direct messages.
• Farah says her recent '8-hour shift' line in vlogs was not aimed at Deepika but was a joke to tease her cook Dilip.
• Reports on September 29 noted the duo do not follow each other on Instagram, and that Farah also does not follow Ranveer Singh, who still follows her.
• Coverage has linked the perceived strain to Farah’s quips about an alleged eight-hour workday request and to earlier reports connecting those terms to Deepika’s exits from Spirit and the Kalki 2898 AD sequel, which have not been confirmed by the parties.
• Emphasizing their long relationship since Om Shanti Om, Farah says she visited Deepika soon after her daughter Dua’s birth and calls for an end to what she describes as fake controversies.
