One commented, “You do realise that she lives together with him? She doesn't need to post anything because she can do it irl. This is quite stupid.” Another echoed the sentiment and added, “So these days, only public show of support is considered support?”Many others questioned the expectation of social media posts as the only way to show appreciation. “She lives with him in person, she doesn't need to post to congratulate. Grow up,” snapped one Redditor. Many posts pointed out Ranveer gave three years of his life to Dhurandhar and had a baby with Deepika along the way, signifying the couple was clearly there for each other. “Leave the couple alone. He can't give 3 years to a film without his wife's support. Let's not forget they even had a baby during the period. Instagram stories don't mean a thing in real life,” one comment read.Deepika may not have posted anything on social media since Dhurandhar 2’s release, but she was seen by Ranveer’s side on Sunday as the couple went out to lunch in Mumbai. The two actors then posed for selfies with fans outside the restaurant.
