Suzanne Bernert Questions Deepika Padukone’s Silence On Ranveer Singh’s Dhurandhar

The success of Dhurandhar 2: The Revenge may have created massive buzz for Ranveer Singh, but it has also unexpectedly triggered a social media debate involving his wife Deepika Padukone and actor Suzanne Bernert. What began as curiosity over Deepika’s apparent silence has now risen into a wider conversation about public displays of support in celebrity relationships.

What Sparked The Controversy?

Following the blockbuster success of Dhurandhar 2, fans noticed that Deepika Padukone neither attended the film’s premiere nor posted about it on social media. This raised eyebrows, especially since the film has been receiving widespread praise and performing exceptionally well at the box office.

As speculation grew, many questioned whether her silence carried any deeper meaning or was simply being overanalyzed by the internet.

Responding to the chatter, Deepika finally addressed the issue in a subtle yet pointed manner. She revealed that she had already watched the film well before its release, indirectly dismissing claims that she was disengaged or uninterested.

However, Deepika’s clarification did not sit well with Suzanne Bernert

Suzanne Bernert reacted sharply by taking to the social media platform X (formerly Twitter), the actress openly questioned Deepika’s stance.

In her post, Suzanne wrote that Deepika’s response “isn’t a flex” and added that many were still waiting for her to openly praise her husband’s achievement.

She further expressed confusion over why Deepika had not publicly celebrated Ranveer’s success, especially when the film has been widely appreciated.

Dear Deepika 🙏🏻
This isn’t a flex!
We are still waiting for you to openly praise your husband. I don’t understand why you are not doing it.

Suzanne’s remarks quickly drew reactions online. Here is how fans reacted

. A large section of fans came out in support of Deepika, arguing that not all relationships need to be validated on social media.

Many pointed out that public figures often choose to keep certain aspects of their personal lives private. Others highlighted that Deepika has, in the past, openly supported Ranveer’s work, making the current criticism seem unnecessary.

The debate soon evolved into a broader discussion about whether celebrities are obligated to showcase their personal relationships publicly—or if private support should be considered equally meaningful.

Thanks for calling her out.

Watching a movie in advance due to access is NOT the same thing as public support for your spouse, especially when a large section of the industry was out to ruin his career/image.

He has always supported and appreciated her publicly.

So she is more concerned about deepika’s comment than iran israel war, this is pathetic…

I feel sorry for Ranveer… if the roles were reversed I can clearly see Ranveer would be dancing and praising her like a mad child. He did it for Alia too but these thankless ppl don’t even have the balls to get out of character once

She won’t praise it openly- she needs the work with Industry’s Mullas.

This controversy reflects a recurring theme in the age of social media—the pressure on celebrities to perform their personal lives publicly. While fans often look for visible gestures of support, especially among high-profile couples, the expectation can sometimes blur the line between public image and personal space.

Deepika’s response, and the reactions that followed, underline an important question: Is public praise the only valid form of support, or can private encouragement hold equal value?

Meanwhile, ‘Dhurandhar 2’ continues to shine, amid the debate, Dhurandhar 2: The Revenge continues its successful run, with Ranveer Singh earning widespread acclaim for his performance. The film has not only dominated the box office but also strengthened his position as one of Bollywood’s leading stars.
