Deepika Padukone says she doesn’t mind speaking her mind despite trolling: ‘When I feel really strongly or passionately…’

Deepika also found herself at the centre of trolls around the release of her film Padmaavat. She also received political backlash for the film, in which she essayed the role of Queen Padmavati. Certain scenes of the film were changed and the film’s name was altered to Padmavat from Padmavati after a fringe outfit claimed it disrespected the sentiments of Rajputs. But, Deepika remained unfazed by all the protests and criticism.

Earlier this year, she was caught in a storm yet again over the Pathaan song “Besharam Rang”, in which she wore a saffron-coloured bikini in one sequence. BJP ministers and right-wing outfits claimed the track insulted the saffron colour “which is holy for the Hindu community.”

Deepika once again remained calm, probably because she didn’t mind having a different opinion. The actor said in the latest interview, “I’m okay to be the only person in the room who has a different point of view.”

Meanwhile, the actor has two big releases in the pipeline– the sci-fi actioner Kalki 2898 AD, co-starring Prabhas and Pathaan director Siddharth Anand’s next, Fighter, which also stars Hrithik Roshan and Anil Kapoor.
