Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s magnum opus Padmaavat drew a lot of attention before its release, but for all wrong reasons. Despite the controversies that erupted due to Karni Sena’s protest against the movie, the film fraternity stood behind the Padmaavat team.
On one hand, where Bollywood actress Swara Bhasker pointed out how the jauhar scene was glorified in the film, on the other hand, legendary actors like Amitabh Bachchan appreciated the performance of the actors. Deepika Padukone received a token of love and appreciation from the Kapoor duo, Rishi Kapoor, and Neetu Kapoor. They wrote, “Excellent work! So very proud of you, Love, Neetu and Rishi Kapoor.”
Later, Amitabh Bachchan, who played the character of Deepika’s father in Piku, also sent a handwritten note. Deepika wrote a heartfelt message and posted the picture on Instagram. It read, “There are awards…there are rewards…& then there is THIS!Thank You, Baba…”

A source disclosed the name to Indian Express and said, “Deepika was elated to receive a handwritten note along with a gift from Rekhaji. It was a heart touching letter from the veteran actress who expressed her awe and appreciation towards Deepika’s performance in Padmaavat.”
Earlier, post-release of Bajirao Mastani, Deepika received a silk saree from Rekha which she wore to her childhood friend’s wedding.
Let’s see what is under the gift wrap this time. Well, a gift from Rekha has to be something classic.
