Farah Khan and Deepika Padukone made headlines when reports surfaced that the two had unfollowed each other on social media. Speculations about a potential fallout circulated online, but now both have addressed the matter. The filmmaker revealed that they were never following each other on social media in the first place.

`Fake controversy has to stop`

Talking to Pinkvilla, Farah Khan said, "To begin with, we were not following each other earlier, too!! We had made a pact during the Happy New Year shoot that we wouldn’t communicate on Instagram; instead, we’d use direct messages and calls. We don’t even wish birthday wishes on Insta because Deepika doesn’t like it. Also, my 8-hour comment wasn’t a dig; it was to make Dilip say that he will now also work 8 hours when he actually works just for 2 hours!”
