In the fast-paced world of social media, even a small action can create a big buzz. That’s what happened when actress Tamannaah Bhatia liked an old Instagram video of Deepika Padukone speaking out about the gender pay gap, workplace inequality, and unprofessional behavior in the film industry.
What Happened Between Deepika and Sandeep Reddy Vanga?
Deepika Padukone was initially set to star opposite Prabhas in Sandeep Reddy Vanga’s film Spirit. However, she later walked out of the project, reportedly due to discomfort with certain scenes. Vanga then posted a cryptic, seemingly angry tweet that fans assumed was directed at her. Soon after, Deepika made public comments about choosing to work only with people who treat her with respect and align with her values — hinting at deeper issues behind her exit.
The Like That Sparked the Controversy
Amid this tension, Tamannaah Bhatia’s Instagram like on Deepika’s video caught fans’ eyes. The video featured Deepika discussing real problems women face in the film world — including unequal pay and unprofessional behavior. Given the timing, many assumed Tamannaah was silently backing Deepika in her dispute with Vanga.
The speculation quickly spread online, with fans debating whether Tamannaah was taking a subtle stand for women’s rights in the industry.
Tamannaah Breaks Her Silence
Tamannaah soon addressed the situation via her Instagram story. She claimed the like was not intentional and blamed a glitch in the app. Her statement read:
“Can Instagram pls figure out how it likes pages on its own cause random ppl are making this news and I really have work to do.”
This clarification cooled down the buzz, but the moment had already done its job — drawing fresh attention to gender bias in the entertainment world.
Industry Issues in the Spotlight Again
Regardless of the intention behind the like, the situation has once again highlighted critical conversations:
- Why do women still face unequal pay in the film industry?
- Why is speaking up about discomfort or boundaries often frowned upon?
- And can actresses support each other without facing public scrutiny?
Tamannaah’s “accidental” interaction made it clear that even the smallest social media action can reignite serious discussions around respect, equality, and professionalism in Bollywood.
Conclusion: Intentional or Not, the Message Matters
Whether Tamannaah meant to support Deepika or not, her brief digital move started a meaningful conversation. It reminded the public that issues like workplace inequality, gender pay gap, and toxic behavior still exist — even in glamorous spaces like Bollywood.
In the age of social media, one tap can turn into a headline. But more importantly, it can also become a platform to talk about change.
