Divya Khossla Kumar accuses Alia Bhatt of rigging Jigra box office numbers: ‘Sach mein bahut Jigra hai’
Alia Bhatt’s recently released film ‘Jigra’ and Divya Khossla Kumar’s film ‘Savi’ were in talks because of their similar storyline. While ‘Savi’ was released in May this year, Jigra was released on Friday with a mixed review. Divya Khossla Kumar has stirred the controversy further by sharing a photo of an empty theater, claiming that the screenings of Alia’s Jigra are attracting little to no audience.
Divya took to her Instagram stories and wrote, “Went to Citi Mall PVR for Jigra show. Theatre was totally empty … all theaters going empty everywhere. #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 Х (sic).”
Divya sarcastically praised Alia with the phrase “Sach Mein Bahut Jigra Hai,” accusing her of inflating the box office numbers of ‘Jigra’ by allegedly buying tickets herself to boost the film's reported collections.
