Deepika Padukone has been making headlines ever since she stepped away from Sandeep Reddy Vanga’s Spirit starring Prabhas. While the actress has been tight-lipped about her reason for walking away from the Prabhas starrer, Sandeep Reddy Vanga recently took a jibe at her, and now it looks like Deepika too wanted to reply to all the drama. While the actress didn't mention any names, during an event, she said that whenever she faces “complicated situations,” she listens to her inner voice and stands by her decisions.

Deepika Padukone on keeping balance

In a conversation with Vogue Arabia, Deepika Padukone said, “I think what keeps me balanced is just being truthful, being authentic, you know, and whenever I’m faced with complicated situations or difficult situations… I think being able to listen to my inner voice and just make decisions and stand by decisions that really give me a lot of peace is when I feel most in equilibrium.”

Sandeep Reddy Vanga's cryptic note

A day before on May 27, Sandeep in a cryptic post lashed out about leaking the story of his upcoming film “Spirit” and questioning whether this is what their feminism stands for. Although he didn’t mention the actor by name in his tweet, his words and online reactions make it evident that his post was aimed at Deepika, who was recently replaced by Triptii Dimri in his film Spirit.

Taking to his timeline on social media platform X, director Sandeep Reddy Vanga wrote, "When I narrate a story to an actor, I place 100% faith. There is an unsaid NDA(Non Disclosure Agreement) between us. But by doing this, You've 'DISCLOSED' the person that you are...."

The filmmaker also went on to say, "Putting down a younger actor and ousting my story? Is this what your feminism stands for ? As a filmmaker, I put years of hard work behind my craft and for me, filmmaking is everything. You didn't get it. You won't get it. You will never get it."

He ended his post with a suggestion to the actor. He said, "Aisa karo.... Agli baar poori kahani bolna... kyunki mujhe jarra bhi farak nahi padtha. (Next time, tell the whole story... Because it doesn't make a difference to me!) #dirtyPRgames."
