Deepika Padukone commercial lands in trouble. Deepika Padukone who opted out of Prabhas' films Spirit and Salaar is now getting trolled for her latest commercial.
On Monday, Deepika was announced as the brand ambassador of Experience Abu Dhabi alongside her husband Ranveer. The update was shared with the launch of an advertisement. In the ad, the couple is seen giving everyone a glimpse of various locations in Abu Dhabi, with Deepika wearing traditional Abaya at one point.
“Abu Dhabi is the ultimate family hotspot... I now get to experience this journey with my wife who joins in as a brand ambassador, Deepika," Ranveer said in a statement.
To this, Deepika added, "Travel is always more meaningful when it is with the people you love... I cannot wait to travel, explore, and experience everything this beautiful city has to offer."
Deepika who promoted the Abu Dhabi tourism with her husband, Ranveer Singh was seen waring a hijab. This resulted in a huge controversy and netizens started trolling her.
They posted targeting her by calling her a “fake feminist” and accused her of not promoting her “own religion or teerth sthal (holy places).”
However her fans defended her in the following way.
Some social media users pointed out that the backlash against Deepika seemed baseless, suggesting that people were simply looking for reasons to spread negativity and hate towards her.
“This is Deepika Padukone when she has gone to temples. She has always been respectful toward the culture of India,” wrote another. One comment read, “In the tourism commercial she is wearing what is appropriate for that culture. You should be proud of someone who can go to any country and be respectful.”
