Disha Patani in war with Kiara Advani, sets Instagram on fire with beach pictures

Disha Patani is once again making waves on Instagram, this time with a sizzling series of photos in an olive green bikini. The actress flaunted her sculpted physique by the beach, sparking a flurry of reactions from fans—especially given the timing of the post, which closely follows Kiara Advani’s much-talked-about bikini appearance in the War 2 teaser.

Known for her bold fashion choices and fitness-centric posts, Disha shared the striking images late Thursday night. Posing confidently under the sun, she showcased her toned abs and curves, quickly capturing the attention of social media users.

What truly stirred conversation online, however, is the timing and styling of the post—leading many to draw comparisons with Kiara. Both actresses began their Bollywood journeys around the same time and notably starred opposite the late Sushant Singh Rajput in MS Dhoni: The Untold Story. Now, fans are speculating whether Disha’s post was a subtle attempt to upstage Kiara’s recent buzz.

Social Media Reaction:

“Destroyed Kiara’s bikini pic with a casual Insta post," one Reddit user claimed.

Another commented, “She’s clearly feeling insecure with all the hype around Kiara’s bikini scene.”

Observers also pointed out the similarities in their looks—from the matching olive bikini to the late-night timing of Disha’s post.
“The color, the time—it's too coordinated to be a coincidence,” a user noted.

Some fans believe the perceived rivalry could stem from their shared film debut. “Wearing the same color bikini as Kiara right after the War 2 teaser drops? It’s no accident. There’s definitely some competitive energy there,” a comment read.

Meanwhile, Kiara continues to ride the wave of excitement surrounding War 2. Taking to Instagram Stories, she wrote: “Lots of firsts in this… First YRF film… First action film… First bikini shot.”

Directed by Ayan Mukerji, War 2 features Hrithik Roshan reprising his role as Kabir, with Jr NTR joining in a high-octane face-off. The action-packed thriller is set to hit theatres on August 14, in Hindi, Telugu, and Tamil.
