Amid the swirling rumours, Saqib Saleem took to Instagram to share his thoughts in a rather cryptic manner. The actor posted a note that didn’t directly address the reports but hinted at something deeper. In his post,
Saleem wrote, “I don’t have photos from the sets to share, but if you’ve been following the promo materials closely, you might spot someone familiar.”
He added that the viewers now have access to everything he put into the project, urging them to “fill in the blanks” with their thoughts and reactions.
Though the actor kept it vague, he concluded by praising the series. He said, “The show is fantastic, and I can’t say enough positive things about it.” His note left fans puzzled, with many wondering if this was his subtle way of addressing his absence from the promotional activities.
Saqib was also absent from the Citadel: Honey Bunny premiere, which took place earlier this week. Sources reported that the actor skipped the event entirely, with insiders claiming he was in Goa at the time. According to reports, Saqib was allegedly upset that his character was barely featured in the show’s official trailer, leading to his decision to skip promotional events.
Interestingly, Varun Dhawan, who plays the lead in Citadel: Honey Bunny, decided to respond to Saqib’s cryptic post. Varun commented, “Stop shooting at me!” The cheeky reply did little to stop fans from speculating about possible tensions on the set.
