Farah Khan breaks silence on 'unfollowing' Deepika Padukone and '8-hr shift' remark

Moreover, Farah clarified that her remark on Deepika's "eight-hour shift" was not a dig at the leading actress.

Speaking to Pinkvilla exclusively, Farah said, "To begin with, we were not following each other earlier, too!! We had made a pact during the Happy New Year shoot that we wouldn’t communicate on Instagram; instead, direct message and call. We don’t even wish birthday wishes on Insta because Deepika doesn’t like it. Also, my 8-hour comment wasn’t a dig; it was to make Dilip say that he will now also work 8 hours when he actually works just for 2 hours!

"No one even knows I was one of the first few people who went to see Deepika when Dua was born, not everything is done for Instagram and paps."

She added, "This new trend of making anything into a fake controversy has to stop!! Last week, it was that Karan and I ignored Aayush on the red carpet, when in reality we had just met him down before coming up!!

"It can genuinely cause problems between people; thankfully, I pick up the phone and call them before it gets worse! But people need to stop doing this!"

Farah recently in her YouTube vlog visited actor Rohit Saraf's house.

Farah's cook Dilip asked the two when they would visit Deepika's house to which the filmmaker-choreographer said the actress works for only eight hours so she doesn't have time to come on their show.

Incidentally, Deepika made her Bollywood debut with Farah's Om Shanti Om in 2007.

The Shah Rukh Khan starrer film went on to become a massive success giving Deepika a huge push right at the start of her career.
