Diya Aur Baati Hum fame TV actress Deepika Singh recently faced the wrath of angry netizens after she posted a series of pictures and a video of herself dancing in-front of uprooted trees the cyclone Tauktae. After receiving a severe backlash on social media, Deepika now reacted on the whole matter. Speaking to ETimes, Deepika said, 'I will not stop spreading positivity, and this is for my well-being and happiness.'
Deepika told, "I live in a flat, which is on the ground floor. This was a tree that we had planted many years ago outside our house, which unfortunately fell during the cyclone. The tree fell on our car and so my husband Rohit and I stepped out in the rains to move it from the car. During that time my husband thought of clicking a few pictures. It was just something we did spontaneously. My husband is a good photographer, so we just clicked a few pictures."
Admitting that it is not something she'd encourage, the TV actor said, "I am sad for all those who were affected due to the cyclone and I didn't mean to be insensitive by posing near an uprooted tree. I would not encourage anyone to do something like that."
The actress further added that she doesn't regret it but, 'I would definitely request the audience to not step out in the rain, this area is right outside my house. Therefore, I stepped out for 5 mins.'
Deepika had posted pictures and videos of herself as she danced on the streets of Mumbai while the city witnessed heavy rains. She also posed with a huge, uprooted tree near her house. Netizens immediately called her out & trolled the actress for celebrating amid the storm.
