Deepika Padukone’s recent visit to director Luv Ranjan’s home with actor Ranbir Kapoor got her hitting the headlines but for the wrong reasons. Soon after she was papped leaving the director’s abode, speculation of her collaborating with the sexual harassment accused filmmaker spread like wildfire giving birth to #NotMyDeepika hashtag on Twitter.

Fans called her out for allegedly reuniting with #MeToo Luv Ranjan for his next. Luv Ranjan was caught into the #MeToo wave after he was accused of asking inappropriate questions a woman during Pyaar Ka Punchnama auditions in 2010.
Deepika has earlier strongly expressed her zero tolerance to sexual harassment at workplace hence her meeting with the filmmaker does not goes well with her fans.

With the Padmavat actor snapped with the filmmaker and several reports doing rounds of their collaboration, fans are getting furious and expressing their disappointment for the same.
Deepika Padukone, the woman I looked up to and not the woman who (may) sign the Luv Ranjan (an alleged sexual abuser) film: a thread. #notmydeepika

She has given me a lot of inspiration and strength in my life.
I really admire you @deepikapadukone ,but I empathize with the victims and this is not right #Notmydeepika— Deni (@DeniAvilaM) July 20, 2019
Do y’all remember this? She was sorry to let us fans down, despite it not being her fault. This is the Deepika i know & admire. I still believe she values us all too much & our opinions matter to her. @deepikapadukone i hope you won’t let us down this time. #notmydeepika pic.twitter.com/djaK5kkO4l

So Ms Deepika Padukone is basically going to capitalize off survivors of violence against women by doing a feminist film (Chhapaak) while working with people accused of sexual assault irl? I'm fuming. #notmydeepika

You know what the scary part is? I willl never be able to look at her the same way. All the respect I had would be meaningless if she chooses to support someone who has caused life-long trauma in someone's life. @deepikapadukone #notmydeepika

#notmydeepika This is good to see hangover of #MeToo still alive among the public, but viewers also owe a responsibility of boycotting movie even when it is released.

Deepika has not yet confirmed her association with the accused filmmaker’s movie. Hold your horses people, let’s wait for the actress to share her two cents on the subject!
