Deepika Padukone visited Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU) on Tuesday night. She stood in protest with the students at the University. Seeing her with the students, Twitterati went into a tizzy. While some people, mostly accounting certain Bollywood celebrities and media personalities, stood by Deepika, some other demanded boycott of her film Chhapaak.
Dressed in black, Deepika stood in solidarity with the students in protest to the violence which took place on Sunday night. She did so just two days before her movie Chhapaak's release, which caught Twitter's attention. Not only Deepika, but her PR team was also bashed for the same. More so, Twitterati even linked Deepika with the 'Tukde Tukde Gang' and demanded to boycott her movie Chhapaak.
Here are some reactions from the Twitterati:
Meanwhile, Deepika also received some support from people like Anurag Kashyap, Prakash Raj, Swara Bhaskar, Vishal Dadlani, and other celebrities. Thus, #ISupportDeepika started trending on Twitter simultaneously along with #BoycottChhapaak.
