Reet Padda, sister of the newbie Aneet Padda, who rose to fame with Saiyaara, has landed in a big controversy as she made bold remarks on Dhurandhar 2, calling it a propaganda film while also criticising Priyanka Chopra for her silence on the ongoing wars and not saying anything during the viral moment from the Oscars, 2026. Her remarks have created a stir on the internet.
Reet created a buzz with a long paragraph in the comments section, sharing her views on movies like Dhurandhar 2, The Kerala Story, and The Kashmir Files, and clarifying that she doesn’t discriminate against individuals.
Reet started with, “Oh, look at me, actually responding to a comment on social media – shocking, I know. Normally, I don’t bother, because clearly trying to change someone’s mind here is like trying to teach cats to do calculus. But, since you’ve so generously invested your precious time reacting to every little thing I’ve reposted, I thought, why not? Let’s go point by point, just so I can try to understand your apparently endless issues with my stance.”
She explained her opinion in pointers, talking about the propaganda films: “First, the whole thing about calling films like Kashmir Files, Kerala Files, and Dhurandhar propaganda. For Dhurandhar, it literally serves as a government-friendly narrative, using political speeches to justify, say, the minor hiccup of demonetisation. Call it propaganda? Yep. Deny it? Not a chance. But maybe your definition of propaganda is… different, who knows.”
“Second, you seem to have a superior grasp of ‘ground reality’ because you’re a Kashmiri Pandit. I never said the problems didn’t exist, but these films clearly push a certain narrative and deviation is apparently optional. I’d love to hear about the ‘real’ ground reality from someone in the know… if only you weren’t hiding behind a faceless, anonymous account. Makes me wonder: if you actually are a Kashmiri Pandit, why haven’t you shared a single personal experience that actually matters? Curiosity, dear friend call it logical verification,” Reet added.
In the third para, Reet criticised Priyanka Chopra’s silence, saying, “Third, Priyanka Chopra and her international platform. She’s got a chance to oppose an illegal war next to someone taking a stand, and… she can’t even clap. If my sister gets that kind of opportunity, and Inshallah, sache patshah, jai shri ram, I pray she rises to the occasion and she chooses to stand there like a dodo bird, I will be the first one to call it out. I’d love to hear more about this ‘aid’ Priyanka has supposedly provided. Enlighten me, please.”
And the fourth para reads, “Fourth, you seem to think I’m against some vague ‘caste’ but I think you mean ‘religion’ just realised I got involved in a tiff with someone who doesn’t understand the difference. Let me clarify for anyone still following along: I do not discriminate against anyone, ever, because I’m human. I am fully unafraid to take a stand, even if everyone else is yelling ‘no!’ at me. What I do discriminate against are political figures who drag religion into politics especially when the same politicians orchestrated the 2002 genocide against Muslims. That is terrorism, that is a crime, and I will call it out. Would anyone let a film about that pass without scrutiny? Doubtful. So, yes, I don’t discriminate against individuals. I do, however, discriminate against political dishonesty cloaked in religion. And yes, I’m unafraid to speak up, even if the majority doesn’t like it.”
Reet concluded her statement saying, “So, yes, I don’t discriminate against individuals. I do however, discriminate against political dishonesty cloaked in religion. And ye. I’m unafraid to speak up, even if the majority doesn’t like it.”
Following this, Reet faced massive backlash online, and she eventually turned her social media accounts private.
