Bollywood actress Deepika Padukone has shared the first post on her Instagram account since intense trolling around her pregnancy. 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, sporting a baby bump, with a section of netizens calling her bump “fake”.
Deepika on Thursday took to her Instagram story to inform fans that she will do a live session on the social media app tomorrow (Friday). “Hi, I’m going live tomorrow… So stay tuned! Okay bye,” she wrote, without divulging any details about the live session. Will Deepika finally call out the trolls? Well, we’ll have to wait and see.
On Wednesday, actor Alia Bhatt reacted in support of mom-to-be Deepika as she faced trolling over her baby bump after her recent appearance. On May 20, Deepika had stepped out to cast her vote in the fifth phase of Mumbai Lok Sabha Election 2024. However, she was trolled by a section of netizens who made some nasty comments on her baby bump. Amid the ongoing trolling of the actress on social media, a senior journalist, Faye D’Souza, 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 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.
Reacting to the post, actress Shruti Seth wrote, “Luckily @deepikapadukone is too busy taking over the world to give a damn! She’s walking all over their damn opinions.” Actress Aahana Kumra commented, “Good on you Faye.” TV star Tina Datta said, “Exactly! People have lost it.”
