A controversy has erupted around Reet Padda, sister of actress Aneet Padda, after her remarks on Dhurandhar 2 triggered widespread backlash on social media.
The issue began when Reet took to Instagram and labelled Dhurandhar 2, along with films like The Kashmir Files and The Kerala Story, as “propaganda.” She alleged that such films promote a government-aligned narrative and questioned how certain real-life issues are portrayed on screen. Her comments quickly went viral, sparking intense debate online and drawing both criticism and support from netizens.
As the backlash grew, many social media users began targeting not just Reet but also Aneet Padda, dragging the actress into the controversy despite her not being directly involved. The situation escalated rapidly, with screenshots of Reet’s posts circulating widely across platforms, amplifying the outrage.
In response to the criticism, Reet initially made her Instagram account private. However, soon after, users noticed that her profile was no longer accessible. Attempts to view her account reportedly resulted in an error message, leading to speculation that she may have either deleted or deactivated her Instagram account altogether.
The controversy didn’t stop there. Reports suggest that Reet may have also removed her LinkedIn profile after it began circulating online, with users digging into her personal and professional background. This further intensified the discussion, as the debate moved beyond her comments to include her personal life.
Meanwhile, several unverified claims about her personal relationships and background surfaced online, adding another layer of speculation. However, there has been no official confirmation regarding these claims, and they largely remain based on social media chatter.
So far, neither Reet Padda nor Aneet Padda has issued an official statement addressing the controversy. Their silence has kept the conversation ongoing, with opinions divided between those criticising her remarks and others defending her right to express her views.
The incident highlights how quickly social media debates can escalate, especially when linked to popular films and public figures, turning personal opinions into national talking points.
