Aneet Padda, who recently gained attention for her work in “Saiyaara,” has found herself indirectly in the spotlight after her sister Reet Padda became the center of an online controversy.
Reet Padda faced heavy backlash after criticizing the film “Dhurandhar: The Revenge,” starring Ranveer Singh, and labeling it a “propaganda” film.
Social Media Backlash Intensifies
