Meanwhile, though Deepika kept silent at the venue, she opened up about the issue in an interview with India Today. She said, “I said what I wanted to say 2 years ago when Padmaavat was releasing. It’s the same fear I felt two years at the time. When I see all this, I feel pain. I hope that this doesn’t become the new normal that anyone can say anything and get away with it.”
