Promotions for Pati Patni Aur Woh 2 are currently everywhere online, but instead of only talking about the film, social media somehow found itself busy creating another Bollywood “catfight” theory. Over the last few days, several clips and photos from promotional events started circulating online, leading some users to speculate that there may be tension between Sara Ali Khan, Rakul Preet Singh, and Wamiqa Gabbi. A section of the internet even began pushing the idea that Wamiqa was being sidelined during the film’s promotions.
But the actresses themselves seem completely done with that narrative. During a recent interaction with News18, Sara and Rakul directly addressed the rumours and made it clear that there is no behind-the-scenes drama happening between the three actors. Instead, both actresses spoke openly about how social media often turns normal interactions into rivalry stories, especially when women are involved in the same project.
The film, which also stars Ayushmann Khurrana, is set to release on May 15, and the cast has been actively promoting it across multiple cities and media appearances. While many fans were focused on fashion choices, body language, and viral clips from events, Sara felt the conversation was missing the bigger picture completely. According to her, all three actresses have very different personalities, and that difference actually helped the film rather than creating competition.
Sara explained that director Mudassar Aziz carefully designed each character in a way that allowed individuality to stand out naturally. She mentioned that everything from styling to makeup and costumes was created separately for each role, ensuring nobody looked or felt similar onscreen. Because of that, she believes comparisons between the actresses don’t even make sense within the world of the film itself.
The actress also spoke about how collaboration works on a movie set, saying actors benefit when their co-stars perform well instead of feeling threatened by them. Sara said she genuinely roots for Rakul during scenes and songs because a stronger performance by one actor eventually helps the entire film connect better with audiences. She added that looking at projects as “our film” instead of “my role” changes the energy completely and removes unnecessary insecurity.
Talking about Rakul, Sara said that if her co-star shines in comedy sequences or songs, it only helps the film become stronger overall. She also admitted that the success of one actor inside a film indirectly benefits everyone attached to it. That approach, according to Sara, is what helped the atmosphere on set remain healthy and supportive throughout the shoot.
Meanwhile, Rakul Preet Singh was far more direct while reacting to the rumours floating online. The actress openly criticised the way social media and parts of the entertainment media continue pushing women-against-women narratives even when there is no actual conflict. She pointed out that repeated assumptions slowly start becoming “truth” online simply because people keep discussing them again and again.
Rakul questioned why audiences are still obsessed with stories about actresses fighting each other when most professional actors are simply focused on making a film work. Calling movies an actor’s “rozi-roti,” she said nobody arrives on set wanting unnecessary tension because everyone’s career and effort are attached to the same project. She also mentioned that actors who are serious about their work usually understand the value of teamwork very clearly.
The actress further said it would honestly be “silly” to hold grudges against co-stars unless someone had done something genuinely disrespectful. According to her, after giving months of hard work and energy to a film, the last thing actors care about is engaging in fake rivalries created by online gossip pages and comment sections.
Interestingly, this kind of discourse has followed many female-led Bollywood projects over the years. Whether it’s screen-time debates, award comparisons, or viral body-language analysis during promotions, social media often turns harmless interactions into controversy material. But both Sara and Rakul seemed aware of that pattern and appeared more amused than bothered by it.
Despite all the online chatter, the cast has continued appearing together during promotions with comfortable chemistry and playful interactions. With Pati Patni Aur Woh 2 heading toward release, the makers are likely hoping audiences focus more on the film itself rather than rumours surrounding the cast dynamics.
