Indian bhakts keep on trolling anyone who dares to offend their sensibilities. Bollywood A-lister Deepika Padukone has found herself at the center of a trolling campaign for wearing a hijab while promoting Abu Dhabi tourism with her husband Ranveer Singh.

 

One Hindutva extremist user shared pictures of the advertisement and reminded her of her previous campaign: “Remember Deepika Padukone's video ‘My Choice’? ‘To wear a Bindi or not, my choice. I decide the clothes I wear’. Now Deepika Padukone has made video promoting Abu Dhabi tourism wearing Hijab.”

 

He questioned: “What happened to ‘My Choice’?”

 

Remember Deepika Padukone's video "My Choice"?

"To wear a Bindi or not, my choice"
"I decide the clothes I wear"

Now Deepika Padukone has made video promoting Abu Dhabi tourism wearing Hijab.

“Choice has a price tag,” one troll wrote. Another agreed, saying: “For people like these MONEY is the only choice. Baaki sab bakwaas hai. India ki public ko sab bewakoof banate rehte hai. Isne bhi bana liya to kya hi naya kiya. (Rest is rubbish, everyone make fools out of Indian public. She has done the same, what’s new it?)”

A fan wrote: “What's your problem sir, anyone can do anything as per their wish.”
