Deepika Padukone has finally spoke about the horrible trolling comments which swarmed the internet right after she had revealed the nature of her open relationship.

It all began with the first episode of Koffee with Karan 8, while talking about their relationship and marriage, Deepika had shared, “I wanted to be single for a while because I had come from difficult relationships. I was going through a phase where I said, ‘I just don’t want to be attached, don’t want to be committed’. And I had fun! And then he came along, so I didn’t commit, until he proposed to me. There was no commitment as such. Even if we were technically allowed to see other people, we would just keep coming back to each other.”

This statement seemed to be highly controversial, causing a fiery debate on social media, with people calling out Deepika. While some termed this period as ‘DeepVeer’s’ or ‘situationship’, others criticized the actress for accepting such terms.

Later on, Deepika responds with an interview with Vogue has addressed the issue, saying, “I don’t think twice about expressing myself.”

Deepika Padukone fights back trolls on her relationship statement in Koffee with Karan throw her answers.

 “When I feel really strongly or passionately about something, I don’t think twice about expressing myself. I’ve grown to become this person where I’m not afraid of speaking my truth or owning up to mistakes. I’m not afraid of saying sorry and I’m okay to be the only person in the room who has a different point of view”, Deepika told The Vogue.

A few days back, a video allegedly from Benaras Hindu University (BHU) in Varanasi, which claims to sum up the dating history of Deepika had gone viral, many netizens were not happy about it and showed their disagreements through the online community. The video showed a female student, portraying Deepika’s character ‘Mastani’ as she stood at the centre of the stage. She was surrounded by male students. In the video, each male student dressed up as individuals rumored to be her past boyfriends or connections.

Netizens have strongly reacted against the video, many believed that it was defaming the reputation of their beloved actress Deepika Padukone, calling it “character assassination” of the actress.

One of the comments read, “Memes are ok but this is the character assassination of Indian actress Deepika Padukone! It just shows the mindset of the cheapest! It’s a shameful act.”

Another devoted fan shared on the internet, “Character assassination of Deepika wasn’t enough on social media that a renowned university allowed it live!! just so low of them, this is truly the reason why as a society we can’t grow man.”

While other comments bring in the legality debate of such a viral video, “This situation unquestionably warrants a defamation lawsuit. Deepika’s legal team should take action. I’m not stating this solely as a fan; subjecting any individual to character assassination in a public setting and on the internet is a form of mental harassment”.
