Meanwhile, Soni called out the news channels for their ‘fabricated spin-offs’, stating that they had turned into ‘uglier, salacious version of Stardust’. She attached a screenshot of her own Whatsapp conversation with Bhatt.

Yes true. Here is mine. We get them everyday. When will news channels actually give us real news and not fabricated spin-offs. Most seem to have turned into uglier more salacious versions of Stardust and Cine Blitz. https://t.co/2f5tKKhwLu pic.twitter.com/l7IS2xavUS
