Actor Divya Khossla launched a scathing attack on Alia Bhatt, accusing her of manipulating the box office numbers. Divya alleged that Alia purchased tickets of her own movie and announced "fake collection" to deceive the public. Taking to to Instagram Stories on Saturday, Khosla shared a picture of an empty theatre and criticised the film's reported earnings.
"#Aliabhatt me sach mein Bahut #Jigra hai.. khud hi tickets karide aur fake collections announce kar diye. Wonder why paid media is silent. #weshdnotfooltheaudience #truthoverlies #HappyDussehra," she added.
A row errupted between Karan Johar who responded with saying, “Silence is the best speech you will ever give to fools.” On this, then Divya took to her Insta story and wrote, “When you are shamelessly accustomed to stealing what rightfully belongs to others, you will always seek shelter in silence. You will have no voice no spine.”
