"Amen": Deepika Padukone Responds As Farah Khan Shuts Down Feud Rumors Over "8-Hour Work Rule"

Just when Bollywood fans thought they had a new celebrity feud to obsess over, Farah Khan has stepped in to swiftly and definitively shut down rumors of a massive fallout with Deepika Padukone. The alleged drama, sparked by a seemingly innocent comment about Deepika’s working hours and fueled by social media speculation, was extinguished with a simple, powerful “Amen” from the superstar actress herself.

The Farah Khan Deepika Padukone feud rumors began to swirl after reports surfaced that Deepika Padukone had exited the movie “Spirit,” with one of the major reasons cited as her demand to work no more than eight hours a day. This detail, seemingly innocuous, became the catalyst for a brewing storm.

The plot thickened when Farah Khan, in her characteristic witty style, made a “dig” in her vlog. When her cook playfully asked when “Deepika ma’am” would appear on their show, Farah quipped, “The day you go to your village, she will come. Deepika Padukone now only shoots for 8 hours. She doesn’t have time to come on the show.”

This comment, perceived as a subtle jab at Deepika Padukone 8-hour work rule, immediately set the internet ablaze. Fuel was added to the fire when posts started going viral claiming that the two had unfollowed each other on Instagram, a modern-day barometer of celebrity friendships.

However, Farah Khan, a veteran of Bollywood’s rumor mill, quickly moved to clarify the situation. In a comprehensive statement, she debunked every aspect of the alleged feud.

“Firstly, let me tell you that we were not following each other,” Farah explained, revealing a pact made during the shoot of Happy New Year to communicate only by call, not on Instagram. “We don’t even wish each other a happy birthday on Instagram.”

She then clarified her “8-hour comment,” stating it was a joke directed at her cook, not Deepika. “My 8-hour comment was not a dig at her. I was just telling my cook that he will also have to work for 8 hours now because he actually works for just 2 hours.”

Farah expressed her frustration with how easily such rumors spread, lamenting that “it genuinely causes problems between people. People need to stop doing this.”

And how did Deepika Padukone respond to this detailed clarification? With a single, powerful word that perfectly encapsulated the truth: “Amen.” Her concise comment served as the ultimate confirmation, putting an immediate end to the Bollywood celebrity controversy.

This incident is a perfect example of how quickly Instagram unfollow rumors and out-of-context comments can spiral into full-blown celebrity feuds in the age of social media. But it also highlights the power of clear communication and genuine friendship to extinguish such fires before they cause real damage.

Farah Khan and Deepika Padukone’s enduring bond remains intact, proving that some friendships are stronger than any social media rumor. The only drama here was the one manufactured by the internet, swiftly debunked by the stars themselves.
