LOS ANGELES, Oct. 6 (UPI) -- Archie Panjabi responded to fresh Julianna Margulies drama Monday on Twitter.

The 44-year-old British actress called out the 49-year-old American star on the social media site after Margulies commented on their rumored feud and Panjabi's final episode of The Good Wife at the New Yorker Festival on Sunday.

"It's totally gossip," Margulies said of their supposed conflict. "I actually had heard [that rumor] and I feel that it has been talked about and answered. I feel people just like to have gossip or make something into something that isn't there. There's no animosity on my part."

Speculation about the pair's relationship had reached a fever pitch when it was discovered the actresses didn't film Panjabi's final scene together. The scene features both Kalinda (Panjabi) and Alicia (Margulies), but was achieved by splicing two separately-shot scenes.

"It was shot the way [co-creator] Robert [King] wanted to shoot it, and the story line, too," Margulies explained at the festival. "[Panjabi] was also doing another show, called The Fall. I went along with whatever Robert asked me to do and I did it happily."

Panjabi responded by posting a link to Margulies' interview and denying she was unavailable to shoot the final scene together. "@TheFallTV was not even in production at that time and I was in New York ready to film the scene!" she wrote.

The actresses hadn't shared scenes for three seasons by the time Panjabi departed the series after season 6. Margulies will continue to play Alicia on The Good Wife, which airs Sundays at 9 p.m. ET on CBS, while Panjabi recently guest starred on Fox comedy Brooklyn Nine-Nine.
