Bollywood star Deepika Padukone has posted on Instagram for the first time since facing intense online criticism about her pregnancy. The actress, expecting her first child with actor-husband Ranveer Singh, was trolled after appearing in public with a noticeable baby bump. Some social media users even claimed her bump was fake.
On Thursday, Deepika shared an Instagram story saying, "Hi, I¡¯m going live tomorrow¡ So stay tuned! Okay bye," without giving more details about the live session. Fans are curious if she will address the trolls during the live session.
Support has been pouring in for Deepika. On Wednesday, fellow actress Alia Bhatt publicly supported her. The backlash against Deepika began when she went to vote in the Mumbai Lok Sabha Election on May 20, where she faced harsh comments online about her appearance.
Journalist Faye D¡¯Souza also defended Deepika, writing on Instagram, "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 Bhatt and her family members liked the post, showing their support.
Actress Shruti Seth remarked, ¡°Luckily @deepikapadukone is too busy taking over the world to give a damn! She¡¯s walking all over their damn opinions.¡± Other celebrities, like Aahana Kumra and TV star Tina Datta, also expressed their support for Deepika.
Bollywood superstars Ranveer Singh and Deepika Padukone tied the knot in an intimate ceremony in 2018. Their wedding was one of the most talked-about events of the year, capturing the hearts of fans around the world. The couple, who had been dating for six years, chose the stunning Lake Como in Italy as their wedding destination. The celebrations included two main ceremonies to honour both their traditions: a Konkani-style wedding on November 14, reflecting Deepika's South Indian heritage, and a Sindhi ceremony on November 15, in line with Ranveer's cultural background.
The wedding was followed by a grand reception in Mumbai, attended by the who¡¯s who of Bollywood.
