Deepika Padukone targeted by trolls; Alia Bhatt and Faye D'Souza react

In a heartfelt gesture, actor Alia Bhatt has come forward to support fellow Bollywood star Deepika Padukone, who is currently facing harsh trolling regarding her baby bump. Deepika recently showcased her baby bump for the first time while stepping out to vote in Mumbai, accompanied by her husband, Ranveer Singh. This appearance sparked a wave of online criticism, with some social media users making disparaging comments and questioning the authenticity of her pregnancy.

One user wrote, "She is not pregnant. This is embarrassing”, while another commented, “Chal kiu rahi esyyy abi itna b baby bump bahar nai aya (Why is she walking like that, the bump isn't that big yet)."Despite the onslaught of negative comments, Deepika Padukone has chosen to remain silent. Alia Bhatt, however,comes at a crucial time as the trolling intensifies, highlighting the often toxic environment of social media.

In her post, Faye wrote, “Dear social media, Deepika Padukone stepped out to do her democratic duty and vote. She did not ask for your feedback on her body or her pregnancy. You have no right to comment on any aspect of her life. Stop it. Behave.”
