Divya Khosla Kumar Slams Alia Bhatt Post Jigra Release

Divya Khosla Kumar recently criticized Alia Bhatt, accusing her of inflating the box office numbers for Jigra. In a social media post, she claimed that Alia, both the producer and  lead actress in Jigra , was buying tickets for her own film to boost its collection figures over the festive weekend.

Divya Khosla Kumar shared a picture of an empty cinema hall on her Instagram, stating that actors should not "fool the audience." She also accused Alia Bhatt of buying her own film's tickets to artificially boost box office numbers.

She posted a story saying, "Went to Citi Mall PVR for Jigra show. Theatre was totally empty … all theaters going empty every where. #Aliabhatt me sach mein Bahut #Jigra hai.. khud hi tickets karide aur fake collections announce kar diye. Wonder why paid media is silent. #weshdnotfooltheaudience #truthoverlies #HappyDussehra," 

Karan Johar appeared to respond to Divya Khosla Kumar by posting a cryptic message on his official Instagram. For the ones who don’t know, his production, Dharma Productions, is behind Jigra.

He wrote, "Silence is the best speech you will ever give to fools." Although Karan Johar didn’t mention Divya Khosla Kumar by name, fans believed his post was directed at her.
