During the promotional event for her skincare brand, Deepika’s demeanor showcased her resilience against the online negativity. While joyfully posing for paparazzi, she appeared unfazed by the relentless trolling targeting her pregnancy. In a heartening moment captured on video by a Bollywood paparazzo, a fan extended congratulations to Deepika, prompting a gracious response from the actress. Even amidst the indirect references to her pregnancy by the event host, Deepika maintained her poise, responding with a simple yet appreciative “Thank you!”
This incident not only highlights Deepika’s unwavering confidence and grace in the face of adversity but also underscores the importance of resilience and self-assurance in in navigating the challenges of public scrutiny, particularly in the realm of social media.
Images of Deepika promoting 82 East also circulated on various paparazzi pages across social media. In one particular video, the actress can be seen smiling and greeting the paparazzi.
In the midst of the continuous trolling directed at the actress on social media, senior journalist Faye D’Souza recently expressed her support for Deepika in a strongly-worded post on her official Instagram account.
Faye’s post conveyed a clear message: Deepika Padukone’s appearance at the voting booth was solely to fulfill her democratic responsibility, not an invitation for social media commentary on her body or pregnancy. The post garnered support from Alia Bhatt, as well as her sisters Pooja Bhatt and Shaheen Bhatt, and their mother Soni Razdan, who all liked the post.
In the midst of these online discussions, Deepika remains dedicated to her work, continuing to film despite her pregnancy.
