Actress Bipasha Basu is making headlines for a reason she had never expected. The actress is being discussed online after she reposted a social media post that talked about rumours of Shahid Kapoor being upset with his role in his much-anticipated film Cocktail 2. The post was shared by a news portal. However, it was later reported by the actress.

What rumour did Bipasha Basu repost?

The post referred to a chat from Reddit that claimed that O'Romeo star Shahid Kapoor was reportedly “upset” about the manner in which screen time was distributed in the film. If the report is anything to go by, actresses Kriti Sanon and Rashmika Mandanna have crucial roles to essay in the sequel. The post read, "Kriti Sanon is said to have landed the most substantial role, reminiscent of Deepika Padukone’s iconic part in the original, while Rashmika Mandanna reportedly plays a charming character expected to win audience love. The post further suggests that both actresses share a strong bond off-screen and are even keen on collaborating again, possibly in Jee Le Zaraa by Farhan Akhtar. Meanwhile, Shahid Kapoor is alleged to be unhappy with his comparatively subdued role, leading to reported disagreements on set. However, it’s important to note that these claims remain speculative and unconfirmed, with no official statements from the actors or the film’s makers." As soon as Bipasha Basu reposted the post, multiple screenshots started going viral on social media. This further sparked speculation among netizens.

Netizens support Bipasha Basu

Many fans were quick to defend the actress, and said that the repost was likely to be accidental and that the incident has been blown out of proportion. Others too urged people to avoid jumping to conclusions, and called for understanding before judging her intentions.
