Deepika Padukone gets support from Congress politician amidst trolling and abuse

Recently, in the opening episode of Koffee with Karan Season 8, Bollywood actress Deepika Padukone and her husband Ranveer Singh featured. During the episode, the former’s revelations had made a lot of headlines and offended a lot of people. Meanwhile, the 37-year-old has gotten some support from Congress politician Supriya Shrinate. She has extended her support in the wake of criticism, memes, and trolling to the veteran actress.

Taking to X (formerly Twitter), Shrinate wrote, “What have we become? A couple sits together on a talk show and talks about their relationship, their marriage, and their courtship. A young woman, who is a super achiever talks about her struggles with mental health – she emboldens many more to deal with this unspoken demon. A young man, no mean achiever either, talks about how he stood by her when she went through the trauma.”

“Instead of applauding their courage to speak about issues that we brush under the carpet as a society – they, especially the woman have become the subject of vicious trolling, character assassination, and vulgar memes.”

She added, “Why can’t people handle reality, why do raw human emotions make them uncomfortable, why does everything have to be candy flossed, why have people become this bitter, so full of hate, so inhumane and so judgemental?”

The truth is that hate is peddled: Shrinate

The politician further added that people who peddle hate are unhappy in their own lives

“But the truth is that the hate which is peddled, makes no difference to people it’s directed towards. Because hate and abuse come from anonymous, insignificant people unhappy and angry with their own lives and anxiety.

Supriya signed off with the words – “Because love just doesn’t make your world go round, it makes you a better human being. And like she said, don’t make the mistake of thinking she is stoppable!”
