Deepika Padukone on Friday shut down trolls as the actress stepped out to promote her cosmetic brand, flaunting her million-dollar smile. Deepika, who is expecting her first baby with actor-husband Ranveer Singh, has been facing immense scrutiny on social media ever since she stepped out to cast her vote in the fifth phase of the Mumbai Lok Sabha elections. It was the first time she appeared publicly with her baby bump. However, a section of the social media users called her bump “fake”.
Deepika appeared to be unfazed by all the trolling around her baby bump as she happily posed for the paps at the promotional event of her skincare brand. In a video, shared by a Bollywood paparazzo, a fan tells Deepika, “Congratulations!” “On her many things,” the host quickly adds while indirectly referring to Deepika’s pregnancy. To which, the actress smiles and replies, “Thank you!”
Visuals of Deepika promoting 82 East also surfaced on several pap pages on social media. In one such video the actress is seen smiling and waving at the paps.
Amid the ongoing trolling of the actress on social media, a senior journalist, Faye D’Souza, recently penned a strongly-worded post on her official Instagram account and showed her solidarity with Deepika.
In her post, Faye wrote, “Dear social media, Deepika Padukone stepped out to do her democratic duty and vote. She did not ask for your feedback on her body or her pregnancy. You have no right to comment on any aspect of her life. Stop it. Behave.” Alia Bhatt was quick to like the post. In fact, Alia’s sisters Pooja Bhatt and Shaheen Bhatt and her mother Soni Razdan liked the post too.
Meanwhile, Deepika is working through her pregnancy. The actress is currently shooting for Rohit Shetty’s Singham Again. In the film, she will be playing the role of a ruthless police officer. Besides this, Deepika will be seen in Kalki 2898 AD in which she will be sharing the screen with Jr NTR and Amitabh Bachchan.
