‘Stupid, yuck’: Deepika Padukone hits out at trolls for asking if she took Ranveer’s permission to kiss on-screen

Bollywood actor Deepika Padukone responded to fans questions in a recent interview while promoting her latest film Gehraiyaan.

The film’s trailer featured Deepika and her co-actors in a few intimate scenes that led many trolls to ask if she had sought husband Ranveer Singh’s permission. In a recent interview with Bollywood Bubble, Deepika was asked for her reaction to the comments.

Deepika shared that it was “stupid” that they were even reacting to it. “It’s stupid that we are even reacting to it. I don’t read comments. I’m pretty certain he doesn’t,” she said. The actor added, “I think yuck, it’s so stupid.” Deepika shared that Ranveer recently watched the film and he was “extremely proud of my performance.”

In an earlier conversation with indianexpress.com, Deepika Padukone said, “There are shades of a Piku performance or a Tamasha performance because they are similar in the way the characters have been written — real and relatable. But honestly, that is the only common thread in these characters that they are as close to reality as possible. Having said that, this is probably the most complex character I have ever played, which makes this role different and extremely challenging than whatever I have done.”

Ranveer and Deepika  dated for more than six years before getting married in 2018. They have worked together in various films and were last seen in Kabir Khan’s 83.

Gehraiyaan is the story of complex relationships. Stating the film has made her more empathetic and accepting of people and their struggles, the Chennai Express diva said, “I think that I was already on the path of being less judgmental, have more empathy, more accepting, and this film has only enhanced that feeling and emotion in me, which is to say that everyone has a story that is deeper than what meets the eye. Everyone’s life is complex. Everyone is dealing with their own set of struggles. A lot of people make a certain choice because of the circumstances they are in. And I believe the moment you understand where their mindset is at, you automatically empathise and become human.”

Gehraiyaan released on Amazon Prime Video on February 11.
