Talking to India Today, the actress narrated an incident where she thrashed a guy who tried to grope her. Deepika said, “I was 14 or 15. I remember one evening my family and I were walking down the street. We had probably finished eating at a restaurant. My sister and my father walked ahead and my mother and I were walking behind. And this man brushed past me. I could have, at that point, ignored, pretended like it didn’t happen. I turned back, followed this person, caught him by the collar – I was 14 – in the middle of the street slapped him and walked away.”
Deepika Padukone has emerged as an inspiration for women in the society. From talking openly about her depression to standing against a harasser, she is nothing but an influencer of courage and valour.
