Deepika Padukone criticized for not praising Priyanka Chopra

Deepika Padukone is facing criticism online after an interview where she did not mention Priyanka Chopra's name while discussing their work together in the movie 'Bajirao Mastani'. Many social media users accused Deepika of being insecure for not acknowledging her co-star. In 'Bajirao Mastani', Deepika played the role of Mastani, and Priyanka portrayed Kashibai. In a recent interview, when asked about her experience working with Priyanka, Deepika referred to her collaborators as "people" and did not specifically name Priyanka. This led to negative reactions from fans online. Some netizens pointed out that this is not the first time Deepika has been hesitant to praise her peers. One user recalled a previous instance where Deepika seemed to shade Priyanka when discussing her international career. Others noted that Priyanka’s performance in the film was exceptional and that Deepika seemed jealous. Many users expressed frustration over Deepika’s reluctance to name other actresses whom she admires, especially when others in the industry openly praise their competitors. However, it is worth noting that Deepika and Priyanka have had a good relationship in the past, as shown during their appearance on 'Koffee With Karan'.
