Have you heard? Of necklines and hemlines

The Toofaan (2021) actor got into a spat with a fan of Padukone, who shared the post about her liking the comment

Mrunal Thakur found herself in a tight spot after fans of Deepika Padukone accused her of liking a post about “tiny clothes” worn by Padukone at promotional events for Gehraiyaan. A social media influencer posted, “Newton’s Law of Bollywood. The clothes will get tinier as the Gehraiyaan release date approaches”. A part of the caption read, “Necklines and hemlines are Gehraiyaan”. The post was liked by Thakur among others. The Toofaan (2021) actor got into a spat with a fan of Padukone, who shared the post about her liking the comment. Thakur hit back, “Get well soon... you are mentally sick. I wish I could get you some flowers and slam it on your face and thank you for spreading hate. I admire Deepika. Having said that I feel you must get yourself a life, rather than sit at home and spread hate”. Padukone also took a jibe at the social media influencer and wrote on her Instagram Story, “Scientists say the universe is made up of protons, neutrons and electrons. They forgot to mention morons”.

Whipping up delights
