Deepika Padukone asks why cricketers aren’t questioned about #MeToo movement

After the #MeToo storm that engulfed Bollywood last year, many big names from the industry faced the consequences by getting scrutinized by the media and Deepika Padukone is not too pleased about it.

During a recent interview, the 33-year-old Padmaavat actor was asked about her take on the social movement that has everyone talking. 

However, the actor retorted by asking why the same was not asked by any sports personality.

The actor said sexual harassment takes place not just in Bollywood but was prevalent in every field so why were actors the only one facing the questions.

She added that regardless of where instances of sexual harassment took place, they need to be taken care of and recognised, in all working spaces.

Currently, on the work front, Deepika is gearing up for her film Chhapaak where she essays the role of an acid attack survivor. The film will hit theatres in January 2020.
