| Controversies | • The Times of India tweeted: “OMG: Deepika Padukone’s cleavage show” on September 14, 2014. Deepika then criticised TOI’s tweet for having an inappropriate headline and tweeted, “I am a woman, yes. I’ve got breasts. I flash some cleavage. Do you have a problem?” Following the Times of India’s publication of an article and a picture highlighting the actress’s cleavage, she also garnered support from her audience and the film industry. Later, Twitter removed the tweet and story. • An Italian Sikh organisation claimed that her marriage to Ranveer Singh broke the Sikh code of conduct because of their Sindhi-Punjabi wedding after she joked about Ranbir Kapoor on the popular chat programme “Koffee with Karan” after the couple split up. • She participated in the JNU vigil on January 7, 2020, to show her solidarity and to denounce the vicious attack on JNU students that occurred on January 5, 2020. Many students were hurt in the JNU hostel attacks. The movie star visited the Jawaharlal Nehru University protesting students while she was in town to promote her film Chhapaak and to show her support against the JNU attack. “I feel angry that this is happening,” she remarked. The lack of action is concerning, but, at the same time.
