As seen on her Twitter feed, an angry Deepika, reacting to news of a leading daily making a big deal of her low-neck gown, wrote “Supposedly India’s ‘LEADING’ newspaper and this is ‘NEWS’!!?? (sic)’
She later followed up these tweets with more angry messages:
While it’s unfortunate this happened, the actor’s reaction is completely understandable. In a day and age when even the slightest show of skin can leads to headlines like ‘OMG..’ it makes you think where we’re headed as a nation.
As if it wasn’t enough that the state of women in India is depressing, we now have strong, independent women like the actor herself, unnecessarily being made a part of an internet gimmick such as this.
As far as Deepika’s say in the matter goes, more luck to her. She stood up for something that’s not acceptable. And that’s the way it should be, no matter what your background or what your cup size.
