A photo of actress Deepika Padukone wearing orange/saffron-coloured heels is being widely shared on social media amidst the ongoing controversy over the Pathaan movie. A section is angry with the film’s song ‘Bersham Rang’, in which Deepika is seen dancing in a saffron-coloured bikini. People object that Deepika has hurt the sentiments of Hindus by wearing a saffron bikini.
The image is shared on Facebook with a caption: “अब क्या होगा दीपिका अंधभक्तो को जलाने से बाज नही आ रही है) (English translation: What will happen now, Deepika is not desisting from burning blind devotees)
Here’s the link to the above post.
FACT CHECK
NewsMobile fact-checked the above claim, and found it to be MISLEADING.
Doing a Reverse Image Search, traced one article in Indian Express, dated May 18, 2019, carrying the same viral image. According to the article, this photo is of Deepika Padukone’s photoshoot during the Cannes Film Festival in 2019.
The same image was also carried in an India Today article on May 17, 2019, with a headline: “Cannes 2019: Deepika Padukone in pinstripe plunging neckline power suit is the definition of class. See pic”.
Thus, it is confirmed that an old image of Deepika Padukone wearing “orange-coloured” heels is falsely linked to Pathaan row.
