With ‘Pati Patni Aur Woh Do’ gearing up for its theatrical release on May 15, several promotional clips featuring the cast have gone viral online. Amid the buzz, social media users began speculating about a possible rift between the film’s leading ladies, with many claiming that Wamiqa Gabbi appeared to be sidelined by co-stars Sara Ali Khan and Rakul Preet Singh during promotions.Now, both Sara and Rakul have dismissed the rumours, making it clear that there is no bad blood between the actresses.Speaking to News18, Rakul addressed the long-standing narrative around actresses allegedly not getting along. She said, “The media created this. A perception is a narrative which becomes the truth if it’s repeated ten times. This has been going on for years now. Who has seen these catfights, differences and disturbed relationships? Any professional actor who comes to a set knows that the film is important to their career and to everyone’s. A film is your rozi-roti.”She further added, “You’ve got to give your hundred per cent to a film you’re working on. So, you aren’t going to be silly and have issues with your co-actors unless kisi ke saath kuch bahut hi zyada galat ho raha hai. But I just don’t understand this norm of women not getting along. I get along with everyone.”Sara Ali Khan also echoed similar thoughts and praised director Mudassar Aziz for creating distinct roles for all three actresses in the film.“All three of us are very different people but similarly confident and secure in our own skin. And all credit goes to Mudassar (Aziz; director) sir for writing a script where there’s no scope for any character’s costumes, hair, make-up, language, dialogue, personality or objective to coincide with one another. We all know that well,” she said.Highlighting the importance of teamwork in a film, Sara added, “When you’re doing a film, you should ideally stop looking at ‘my part’ and ‘her part’. It’s ‘our film’. The funnier Rakul is, the better it is for me. The better she is in a song, the better that is for me. The better I am in a song, the better for her. We’re a family.”Apart from Sara, Rakul and Wamiqa, the film also stars Ayushmann Khurrana in the lead. Positioned as a light-hearted family entertainer, Pati Patni Aur Woh Do promises a contemporary spin on comedy while blending nostalgia with modern-day relationships.
