In a fresh wave of celebrity drama, actress and filmmaker Divya Khossla Kumar has reignited her public feud with Alia Bhatt, this time accusing the Jigra star of inflating box office figures by purchasing fake tickets. Divya’s comments come in the wake of speculation about Jigra’s underwhelming performance at the box office, with rumours circulating that ticket sales were allegedly manipulated to boost the film’s numbers.
Taking to social media, Divya launched a thinly veiled attack on Alia, suggesting that “true heroism” lies in honesty, not manipulating the system. “True heroism is not about buying your own success,” Divya posted, hinting that real talent doesn’t require such measures. Although she didn’t mention Alia by name, fans were quick to connect the dots, given the timing and context of her statements.
This is not the first time Divya and Alia have clashed publicly. Earlier, Divya had taken issue with the promotion tactics used for Jigra, claiming that Alia’s media team was unfairly dominating headlines. The latest development has added fuel to their ongoing rivalry, with fans of both actresses rallying behind their favourites on social media.
While Alia Bhatt has chosen not to respond to the allegations directly, her supporters argue that Jigra’s numbers are genuine and that the accusations are baseless. For now, the public spat between these two Bollywood stars continues to make headlines, sparking further debate on the ethics of box office reporting.
