On Saturday, Divya took to Instagram with a scathing post, alleging that Jigra was not performing well at the box office. She stated, “Went to Citi Mall PVR for Jigra show. The theatre was totally empty... all theatres going empty everywhere. #AliaBhatt, me sach mein bahut #Jigra hai.. khud hi tickets kharide aur fake collections announce kar diye. Wonder why paid media is silent. #WeShallNotFoolTheAudience #TruthOverLies #HappyDussehra.” Her remarks suggested that Alia and her team were inflating the film's opening figures.

In a seemingly indirect response, Karan Johar shared a quote on his Instagram stories stating, “Silence is the best speech you will ever give to fools.” While he did not explicitly name Divya, the implication was clear.

Unfazed, Divya retaliated by posting, “Truth will always offend fools opposed to it.” She also added another story that read, “When you are so accustomed to stealing what rightfully belongs to others, you will always seek shelter in silence. You will have no voice, no spine.”
