Divya Khosla Kumar Takes a Swipe at Alia Bhatt’s ‘Jigra’
In a recent social media post, Bollywood actress Divya Khosla Kumar expressed her opinions on Alia Bhatt’s latest film, Jigra, which was released on October 11. Divya shared a picture of an empty cinema hall, indicating her visit to City Mall to watch the film. She noted with disappointment that the hall was completely empty, commenting, “Halls are empty everywhere. Alia Bhatt really has a lot of heart…she bought the tickets herself and announced the fake collection.” This bold statement raises questions about the film’s box office success and the silence of certain media outlets regarding it.
Karan Johar’s Cryptic Response
Shortly after Divya’s post circulated, filmmaker Karan Johar appeared to respond indirectly. He shared a cryptic message that read, “Silence is the best speech to answer fools.” While Karan did not directly mention Divya Khosla or her remarks, the timing of his post suggested a potential rebuttal to her comments on the film industry.
Background on the Tension Between Divya and Alia
The tension between Divya Khosla Kumar and Alia Bhatt isn’t entirely new. Previously, Divya acknowledged the perceived similarities between her film Savi and Alia’s Jigra. During a media interaction, she remarked that both films carry similar themes, but emphasized that each film has its unique journey. She proudly mentioned that Savi has found success both in theaters and on OTT platforms, contrasting with the current situation of Jigra.
About ‘Jigra’ and ‘Savi’
Jigra follows the gripping narrative of Alia’s character, who is on a quest to free her brother from prison. Meanwhile, Savi features Divya’s character undertaking the mission to rescue her husband from jail. The parallel themes of both films have led to ongoing discussions and comparisons among audiences and critics alike.
As the box office battle unfolds, the rivalry and commentary from industry figures like Divya Khosla Kumar and Karan Johar highlight the competitive nature of Bollywood. The reactions from both actresses indicate not only a clash of films but also the intricate dynamics within the film industry where box office success can lead to public scrutiny and commentary.
