Deepika did not speak at the gathering but was seen standing quietly. Her movie Chhapaak is releasing this Friday and with this, she will also turn producer. Chhapaak is a film on acid victims and is inspired by the real-life incident.
@deepikapadukone When she was attacked over Padmavat very few came forward to support her. She knows what it feels to be targetted and she has shown exemplary courage by supporting the JNU students with quiet grace,More power to Deepika Padukone
