Deepika Padukone Says "No" To Working With Someone Accused In The #MeToo Movement

A few days back, Deepika Padukone and Ranbir Kapoor were photographed outside #MeToo accused director-producer Luv Ranjan’s office, which immediately leads to the speculations that the two stars were in talks to star in one Ranjan’s forthcoming movie.

Shortly after, her fans took to Twitter to show their objection by trending the hashtag #NotMyDeepika, which was quick to find a place on the top trends.

Deepika Padukone, who has not come out to personally deny or confirm these rumors, has finally expressed her opinion to the entire situation. During a recent interview with Vogue, when asked whether she would work with someone who faced allegations of sexual misconduct, Deepika responded, “No! I would not”.

Although the magazine did not mention the name directly, we all could guess that they were talking about director-producer Luv Ranjan who was accused of having sexual harassment by an actress last year. This answer is seemingly a way for the actress to put an end to all these recent speculations and fans are definitely happy to hear her say that.

Meanwhile, on the professional front, Deepika Padukone has already wrapped up the shoot for her upcoming film Meghna Gulzar’s Chhapaak, which is based upon the life story of an acid attack survivor named Laxmi Agarwal. The film also features Vikrant Massey in the male lead and is slated to release on 10^th January next year.

Apart from that, Deepika will be also seen in the Kabir Khan’s directorial ’83 in which she plays the role of legendary cricketer Kapil Dev’s wife. The film, which stars her hubby Ranveer Singh in the titular role, revolves around Kapil’s journey from his childhood days to the time when he became the captain of the Indian cricket team and made the whole country proud with the 1983 Cricket World Cup trophy. ’83 is expected to hit the cinema on 10^th April 2020.
