Deepika Padukone raised a few eyebrows after she was spotted entering the Mumbai airport without a mask. The actress, on February 15, was seen at the departure gate heading to catch her flight. The Gehraiyaan star opted for an all-blue outfit with a pair of white heels for her journey.
Recently, the actress appeared in the film 'Gehraiyaan' and Deepika has also been trolled due to this film. A video of the actress making her way to the departure gate was shared by a paparazzo on Instagram.
Netizens noticed that Deepika wasn't wearing a mask amid COVID and also wasn't carrying her own bag but had asked her assistant to do so. This did not sit well with them and in the comments section of the pap video, they castigated the actress for her behaviour.
One user commented on the video and one user wrote - "Can't you pick up your bag yourself? Apart from this, many users even called them addicts.''
While Deepika looked on point with her style statement, a few questioned her for not wearing a mask. A couple of social media users also asked her why she couldn’t carry her own bag, “Can’t she carry her own bag or buy some mask?" a comment read. “Apna purse bhi nahi uthaya jata (She can’t even carry her bag)," added another. “I wonder how they roam without mask," a third comment read.
Deepika’s travel comes shortly after her promotional spree for Gehraiyaan came to an end. The actress was seen playing the lead of the Shakun Batra film alongside Siddhant Chaturvedi, Ananya Panday and Dhairya Karwa. The film revolves around Aisha (Deepika) and Zain (Siddhant) cheating on their respective partners and the repercussions of it. The movie also focused on mental health issues and featured a suspense element.
The movie received mixed reviews but many praised Deepika for her performance. After Gehraiyaan, Deepika has a bunch of releases in the pipeline, which include Pathan with Shah Rukh Khan, Fighter with Hrithik Roshan, Project K with Prabhas, and the Intern remake with Amitabh Bachchan, to name a few. Deepika also has her Hollywood comeback movie in the pipeline. In a conversation with Bollywood Hungama, the actress said that the movie is “too nascent a stage it is at, to be talking about that at this point.”
