Overview

• After viral posts suggested an Instagram ‘unfollow’ and a fallout, Farah Khan told Pinkvilla there was no rift and that they had never followed each other by choice.
• Farah clarified her recent “8-hour” remark was a joke aimed at coaxing her cook Dilip about his hours, not a dig at Deepika Padukone.
• Deepika acknowledged the clarification by commenting “Amen” on a portal’s Instagram post about Farah’s statement.
• Some reports also noted Farah was not following Ranveer Singh, while he still follows her, though Farah urged an end to such “fake controversy.”
• The episode overlays a broader industry conversation about Deepika’s reported eight-hour workday request and media-linked exits from Spirit and a Kalki 2898 AD sequel.
