A fan shared an old video of Deepika from 'Chhapaak' promotions in 2020. In the clip, the actor responded to a misogynist comment. Social Media users noticed Tamannaah's like on the post and perceived it as support for Deepika. Tamannaah Bhatia alleged that the post supporting Deepika Padukone was liked by her handle due to algorithm glitch.
For the unversed, a controversy erupted when Vanga shared a cryptic post without naming Deepika Padukone after announcing Triptii Dimri as the female lead for 'Spirit.' Earlier, it was reported that Deepika had opted out of the film due to issues with her remuneration as well as demand for an eight-hour work schedule.
However, later the Spirit director blamed 'cheap PR tactics' for leaking out the story of the film. A report by Pinkvilla stated that the real reason behind Deepika's exit was because it was an R-rated film. Vanga called out the reports as an attempt to sabotage his film and 'putting down a younger actor.'
Deepika did not directly respond to Vanga's statement but spoke about dealing with 'difficult situations,' in an interview with Vogue. She said, "I think what keeps me balanced is just being truthful, being authentic. And whenever I am faced with, say, complicated situations or difficult situations, to be able to listen to my inner voice and just make decisions, stand by decisions that really give me peace. That is when I feel most in equilibrium."
'Spirit' is an upcoming Telugu action-drama film with Prabhas in the lead role.
