Gupta had written an article in Bombay Times in 2014 where she slut-shamed Bollywood actress Deepika Padukone. The entertainment supplement of the paper, Bombay Times, had tweeted a Deepika Padukone video with the caption: “OMG! Deepika Padukone’s cleavage show”. Soon after this tweet, Deepika too took to her micro-blogging site to give a befitting reply. Deepika tweeted, “YES! I am a Woman. I have breasts AND a cleavage!

Gupta had shot back, "Deepika, just for the record, we do not zoom into a woman’s vagina or show her nipples… What about all the times, and there have been many, when you have flaunted your body off screen — while dancing on stage, posing for magazine covers, or doing photo ops at movie promotional functions? What ‘role’ do you play there? So why the hypocrisy?” ALSO READ: Vishal Bhardwaj’s Confirms Deepika Padukone – Irrfan Khan’s Film NOT Shelved, Says Will Wait For Our Warrior To Return As A Winner


Questioning the BCCI’s selection process, Choudhary has apparently shot an email to BCCI CEO Rahul Johri where he is said to have written, “A simple search on the internet, revealed the following stories mentioning the candidate selected for the post we are presently concerned with, regarding an article that the person authored, the content of which is for everyone to see.” However, when Gupta was asked about Choudhary’s objections, she in a statement to The Indian Express, said, “I really have no clue about it and I don’t want to comment anything on it.”
