Deepika Brutally Trolled For Her ‘Chhapaak’ Look On Social Media

What  was probably meant to be a harmless gesture  of fan-star bonding on  the social media has turned  into an occasion  of savage trolling for Deepika Padukone.

It started with  Deepika asking a  fan on the Tik-Tok application to  “recreate” her “look” from three films  Om Shanti Om, Piku and Chhapaak.

 The  troll brigade  immediately  galvanized   into action , wondering, rightly, how an acid-attack victim’s disfigured face can be  a ‘look’ for the actress. The social media sees this as  more proof of  the shallowness and insensitivity that  most of our actors display  when it comes to issues that they purport to champion. 

In this case Deepika has been repeatedly  speaking on how deeply she was affected  by playing  the acid-attack survivor.And yet here she was trivializing the trauma of an acid victim by reducing the agony pain and  suffering  to a fashion statement.

A director  who has worked with  Deepika  thinks she is being wrongly advised by her marketing team.

“This(the trauma  of  an acid attack) is  a more serious than anything Deepika has done. She   just didn’t know  how to handle it.And her  advisers  proved  to be the film’s  biggest undoing,” says  the  filmmaker.
