In a surprising turn of events, Deepika Padukone and Farah Khan have unfollowed each other on Instagram, sparking widespread speculation among fans.
The duo, who share a bond going back to Om Shanti Om, where Farah launched Deepika, have always been spotted together at film promotions and events. But recent social media activity hints at tension.
Farah Khan has also unfollowed Ranveer Singh on Instagram, whereas Ranveer still is following Farah's social media account.

While neither has confirmed any rift, fans are piecing together clues. The unfollow comes shortly after Farah Khan made several comments seemingly referencing Deepika Padukone’s alleged demands on set, including her now-famous “eight-hour workday” rule.
Farah Khan Takes Jabs at Deepika Padukone’s Work Hours
The first hint came during one of Farah Khan’s YouTube vlogs, where she visited Radhikka Madan and commented on her grueling audition schedules. Farah joked, “Aise tapke hi toh sona banta hai (this is how gold is made),” subtly alluding to Deepika Padukone’s work style.
In another instance, during a visit to Rohit Saraf’s house, Farah quipped about Deepika’s availability: “Deepika Padukone ab sirf 8 ghanta shoot karti hai, usko show pe aane ka time nahi hai.” These remarks, though playful, have fueled rumors about friction between the filmmaker-choreographer and the actress.

Earlier this year, Deepika Padukone made headlines after withdrawing from Sandeep Reddy Vanga's Spirit and Prabhas' Kalki 2. Reports indicate that disagreements over work schedules, salary, and profit-sharing contributed to her decision. Fans are now curious if these professional conflicts have affected her personal relationship with Farah Khan.
Despite the rumors, Deepika Padukone remains a formidable force in Bollywood with numerous projects ahead, while Farah Khan continues to be active on social media and her vlogs. Whether this unfollow signifies a genuine fallout or is merely an Instagram anomaly, only time will reveal.
