New Delhi: Actress Deepika Padukone, who had earlier lashed out at a prominent Indian publication for using a titillating headline to describe an almost year-old footage of hers in a plunging neckline, had posted a strongly-worded statement on her official Facebook page defending her decision to call out blatantly sexist coverage of women stars in media.
While most thought that the actress had got the last word in the matter, the concerned newspaper posted an official response to the actress' post.
"Deepika, we accept your reel vs real argument, but what about all the times, and there have been many, when you have flaunted your body off screen - while dancing on stage, posing for magazine covers, or doing photo ops at movie promotional functions? What 'role' do you play there? So why the hypocrisy," asks the writer in the post.
Padukone's angry outburst on Twitter had found resonance among other women in the industry who applauded her for speaking for all of them.
