Another day, another Deepika Padukone controversy.
The buzz surrounding filmmaker Atlee’s upcoming project AA22xA6 has grown even stronger with reports confirming that Deepika Padukone will play a pivotal role in the high-profile film. After wrapping up her schedule for Shah Rukh Khan’s King in Poland, Deepika is set to join Allu Arjun and Atlee by the end of October.
An insider shared, “Her role has remained the same since she came onboard in June. It’s a strong part, essential to the first and second acts of the story.” This confirms that her character is integral to the narrative alongside Allu Arjun.
Meanwhile, an ad featuring her alongside her husband and actor Ranveer Singh, has snowballed into something utterly futile. In the ad, Padukone is seen wearing an abaya as she admires the stunning architecture of the Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque in Abu Dhabi.
Many are referencing her ‘My Choice’ campaign for Vogue India back in 2015, seemingly suggesting that wearing an abaya contradicts her feminist stance. But here’s the point they are missing: the choice.
She is a global face, an influencer, an actor, a brand endorser, and leads from the front in the glamour industry. She is also a leading voice for mental health awareness in the country. So, when a foreign nation invites an Indian celebrity to represent their culture and tourism, isn’t that more a moment of pride than a reason for unwarranted outrage?
