Deepika Padukone slammed for TikTok challenge on her ‘Chhapaak look’

'All the good work achieved by movie in sensitising people on the issue being washed off,' said a twitter user.

Trust the internet to say things the way they are, without caring about who is doing or saying those things. It’s also a place that will hail you for your actions and also slam you if your actions are wrong. This is exactly what Deepika Padukone might be experiencing right now. Just a few days ago, she was hailed my many for her protest visit at JNU, and now a video has come out in which she is seen giving a TikTok challenge on her ‘Chhapaak look’. It has not gone well with many people on the Internet who are slamming her for this ‘insensitive’ comment.

"The problem with Deepika Padukone endorsing a makeup challenge on Chhapak is that she treated it as one of her 'looks' and dismissed the entire trauma behind it. She proved that it was merely makeup for her and she clearly doesn't understand the depth of what survivors go through," wrote a Twitter user.

"The movie wasn't about you & your make up," was one more similar reaction.

No @deepikapadukone.This promo isn't cool or cute. It's insensitive & ghastly.
The movie wasn't about you & your make up. It was about a woman scarred for life.And victims like her,whose marks can't be wiped off,unlike your make up.

You lost the plot,alas. https://t.co/9Zt8XEmSqI

Directed by Meghna Gulzar and produced by Deepika Padukone, Chhapaak showcases the story of an acid attack survivor named Malti and her fight for justice. As you might be aware, the film is based on the life of acid attack survivor, Laxmi Agarwal. It got a mixed response from the critics and audiences. The collections of the film got affected due to Tanhaji: The Unsung Warrior's phenomenal run, which turned out to be an outright winner at the ticket windows.
