Actress Deepika Padukone is making news for her latest social film, Chhapaak. The film has received rave reviews from the critics and is doing well despite competiton from Ajay Devgn Tanhaji. Meanwhile, the sexy siren is also making news for her TikTok challenge that has drawn criticism.
Deepika is seen throwing a TikTok challenge at a user named @faby_makeupartist. “I want to challenge Faby with three of my most favourite looks,” Deepika is seen telling the make-up artist Faby. The actress adds that the three looks that Faby has to recreate on herself are of the films Om Shanti Om and Piku, besides her look as the acid attack survivor Malti in Chhapaak. In the 39-second video, Faby goes on to rapidly create all three looks on herself, one by one to the beats of peppy music.
Perhaps Deepika was trying to give out the message that Chhapaak, where her role of Malti is based on real-life acid attack survivor Laxmi Agarwal, happens to be one of her most memorable roles along with Om Shanti Om and Piku. Social media, however, isn’t amused. The trolling started shortly after a user named Dr. Smokiee posted the video on Twitter.
“And just when we thought that @deepikapadukone couldn’t mock Laxmi anymore through her PR stunts in JNU she comes up with tik tok challenge on acid attack victims. Gross,” wrote Dr Smokiee along with the video, on his Twitter account @SmokingSkills_.
