Hours after Deepika and Ranbir were spotted at Luv Ranjan’s place, her fans started the trended #NotMyDeepika on Twitter. They have requested the ‘Padmaavat’ actress to not work with Ranjan, who was accused of sexual misconduct by a woman last year.
Deepika Padukone’s fans have joined hands to start the movement and they are asking the ‘Piku’ star to reconsider her decision. Check out some of the tweets right here!
In October 2018, during the pinnacle of the Indian #MeToo movement, an actress accused Luv Ranjan of asking her to strip to her innerwear during an audition. The filmmaker had denied the allegations of sexual harassment against him.
The ‘Sonu Ke Titu Ki Sweety’ director later issued a statement which read, ‘’ "I apologise to whoever I have caused hurt, whoever I have not made feel comfortable enough. I apologise for not being able to communicate my intent. I apologise for not being able to make someone feel that I am the man that I have aspired to be and I believe I am."
