Over the past few days, Bollywood diva Deepika Padukone made headlines several times like no other star in recent times. The reason for this is a controversy involving Animal director Sandeep Reddy Vanga. The ‘Kalki 2898AD’ actress was supposed to share screen with Prabhas for the second time in her career in the upcoming cop thriller ‘Spirit’. However, she took an unceremonious exit after a fall out with Sandeep Reddy over creative differences and some financial terms.

The controversy took an ugly turn when Sandeep Reddy indirectly attacked an unknown actor for engaging in unsavory ‘PR’ activity. He accused that the actor displayed unprofessional behaviour by leaking the inputs in his story to Bollywood media which projected Spirit as an A rated action thriller.

Though Sandeep didn’t name anyone in his accusations, the timing of his post made everyone believe that he was insinuating at Deepika Padukone. This episode snowballed into a big controversy as supporters of both the director and the actress engaged in a social media war.

Now, Deepika Padukone shared a thought-provoking message about navigating personal and professional challenges. “I think what keeps me balanced is just being truthful, being authentic,” she said in a candid video after her appearance in a public event for a jewellery brand at Stockholm.

She added, “Whenever I’m faced with complicated situations or difficult situations, I think, to be able to listen to my inner voice and just make decisions and stand by decisions that really give me a lot of peace, is when I feel most in equilibrium.”

Fans of Deepika are now interpreting that she took a subtle dig at the ongoing controversy in her style.
