Deepika Padukone has finally spoken out about the immense trolling she endured as a result of her statements about her open relationship. Deepika revealed on the inaugural episode of Koffee With Karan 8 about their relationship and marriage, “I wanted to be single for a while because I had come from difficult relationships.” I was in a phase when I stated, “I just don’t want to be attached, I don’t want to be committed.” And I had a good time! And then he showed up, so I didn’t commit until he offered. There was no such thing as a commitment. Even if we were theoretically permitted to visit other people, we would always return to each other.”
This statement sparked a debate on social media, with many criticizing Deepika. Some referred to DeepVeer’s’situationship’ during this time, while others shamed the actress. Deepika has now addressed the topic in an interview with Vogue, saying, “I don’t think twice about expressing myself.”
Deepika’s Complete Response to Trolling
“When I feel strongly or passionately about something, I don’t hesitate to express myself.” I’ve matured to the point where I’m not afraid to speak my truth or own my faults. “I’m not afraid to apologize, and I’m fine with being the only person in the room with a different point of view,” Deepika told Vogue.
A video apparently from Benaras Hindu University (BHU) in Varanasi, which discusses Deepika’s dating history, went viral a few days ago and was being condemned by the online community.
In the video, a female student dressed like Deepika’s character ‘Mastani’ stood in the center of the stage. She was surrounded by male classmates. Each male student dressed up as one of her previous partners or connections in the film.
