TOP 5 CONTROVERSY OF DEEPIKA PADUKONE

1. JNU Visit: In January 2020, Deepika Padukone made headlines when she visited the Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU) in New Delhi to express solidarity with students following a violent attack on the campus. Her presence sparked both praise and criticism, with some supporting her stance on the issue and others questioning her motives and affiliations.
2. Padmavati (Padmaavat) Film Controversy: Deepika starred in the historical drama film “Padmaavat,” which faced significant opposition from certain Rajput groups and regional political parties. The controversy revolved around allegations of historical inaccuracies and misrepresentation of the Rajput community. Protests, threats of violence, and vandalism were reported in various parts of the country before and after the film’s release in January 2018.
3. Drug Probe: In 2020, Deepika Padukone’s name emerged in a drug-related controversy during the investigation into the death of Bollywood actor Sushant Singh Rajput. Some WhatsApp chats allegedly involving Deepika discussing drugs came to light, leading to speculation and media scrutiny. However, no direct evidence of her involvement in any illegal activities was reported.
4. My Choice Video: In 2015, Deepika appeared in a Vogue India video titled “My Choice,” which aimed to empower women and promote gender equality. However, the video faced criticism for its portrayal of feminism and sparked debates about whether it represented a privileged perspective, neglecting the struggles of marginalized women.
5. “Chhapaak” Controversy: In 2020, before the release of her film “Chhapaak,” Deepika Padukone visited the Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU) to show solidarity with the students after the violent attack on campus. While it garnered support from some, others accused her of promoting her film’s publicity and using a sensitive issue for personal gain.
