Deepika Padukone's TRAGIC PR Team - PUBLICITY STUNTS Gone INSANELY WRONG: Part 2 - YouTube

Channel: Its Achar

Deepika always creates the drama of being the first choice for every other lucrative
[38]
film from Mughal-e-Azam to Saand Ki Aankh to Kalank and also with the 3 Khans.
[45]
She always claims to be the one rejecting offers and giving them to her colleagues.
[52]
Earlier in 2018, there was a story about Deepika acting in a big-budget Indian superwoman role
[58]
which would essentially be the ‘desi Wonder Woman’. 
[62]
However, this was met with jokes and a director from the industry apparently said, “who
[67]
is making this desi Wonder Woman apparently at the astronomical budget of Rs 300 crores
[73]
for Deepika when the original Wonder Woman (Gal Gadot) is available in multiple Indian
[79]
languages whenever she chooses to return? There is no mention of any production house,
[85]
or filmmaker attached to this wildly improbable project with Deepika. It seems Desi Deepika
[91]
Padukone Wonder Woman is being made by only somebody’s imagination.”
[98]
Some of the claims that her team makes about being attached to projects are clearly untrue.
[104]
The PR released the news about her being considered for the new Bond Girl when there did not
[109]
even have a Bond.
[114]
Also attacking her contemporaries through her PR but acting all diplomatic, naive, and
[119]
sweet to Anushka Sharma, Priyanka Chopra, and Katrina Kaif.
[125]
Deepika gave a screen test for the Iranian director Majid Majidi’s film in 2017.
[133]
She was dropped from the movie because her PR team and the movie titled Beyond the Clouds
[138]
starred the Malayalam actress Malavika Mohanan.
[141]
Her team went around circulating pictures from the audition and implying that she has
[147]
been signed on as the lead.
[149]
This did not go down well with the film’s team and she was replaced by Malavika.
[157]
Deepika’s next strategic PR move was in relation to the #MeToo allegations.
[163]
Her PR leaked that as chairperson of MAMI, she decided to not let Phantom films be premiered
[170]
because of the MeToo allegations against the filmmaker Vikas Bahl.
[175]
The article made it like she was the only one with morality while the other board members
[179]
were confused.
[182]
After a few months, she was seen visiting filmmaker Luv Ranjan's house with ex-boyfriend
[188]
Ranbir Kapoor on a Friday night.
[190]
Luv Ranjan was accused of sexual harassment by an actress.
[196]
Soon #NotMyDeepika started trending online as fans were not happy with her doing a film
[203]
with the accused.
[204]
When she was called a hypocrite, the next day her PR team started to trend the counter
[209]
hashtag "WhyJustDeepika".
[212]
It was the same old paid people tweeting about it and defending her.
[218]
She tried to shift the blame towards Ranbir Kapoor and Ajay Devgan as her defense was
[223]
"Why should only Deepika be questioned, people should also question Ranbir and Ajay".
[231]
Another is her cleavage stunt with The Times of India which was purely for the success
[236]
of her film Finding Fanny.
[239]
The controversy happened on the opening weekend of the film and then everything happened
[244]
so quickly.
[246]
The article and her comeback open letter were circulated all around the media within the
[251]
span of a weekend.
[253]
It is pretty much clear that the whole incident was a PR stunt to save her flop movie Finding Fanny.
[262]
After all these comes the Chappaak drama which was an utter disaster.
[268]
She considered the JNU incident and the acid-face TikTok challenge to clock big openings for
[273]
the movie.
[275]
Everything backfired and garnered much negative publicity.
[282]
Then is her airport dance with Kartik Aryan which went on to be the cheapest PR move.
[288]
On a Saturday, Deepika invited Kartik to terminal 2A of Mumbai's Chhatrapati Shivaji International
[295]
Airport at 9:00 AM through her Instagram handle.
[299]
The next day on Sunday morning, the two were seen dancing to the song Dheeme Dheeme from
[304]
the film Pati Patni Aur Woh.
[307]
The act was to garner publicity as she was literally inviting everyone to watch the fiasco.
[313]
More should be expected from Deepika and Kartik as they are doing a movie together. And also
[319]
Kartik’s PR team is not any better and makes him do the crappiest things.
[324]
Several other incidents include throwing herself at Ranbir, the tattoo drama, the insecurities
[329]
surrounding Padmaavat, the Instagram live planned with the World Health Organization’s
[333]
representative, and now banking on the unfortunate Sushant Singh Rajput episode with her piles
[339]
and piles of depression driven PR.
[341]
Considering how Deepika tweets about holding high principles and having brains, she should
[347]
not have let all these happen.
[349]
These are not just the actions of her PR team but she also is equally responsible as she
[354]
approves and controls them.
[357]
Her genuine support for good causes such as mental health is also undermined because people
[362]
are now careful about trusting what comes out of her team. 
[366]
All these events make her highly manipulative, calculating, and fake.
[370]
The founder of Deepika’s PR agency, Prabhat Choudhary says that we actually jam, and then
[376]
decisions are taken. We don’t take calls, it’s always suggestions, which either gets
[381]
accepted or rejected.”
[384]
He clearly states that they do not make the final call and it is always the celebrity.
[389]
Prabhas describes Deepika as highly meticulous. “She is a very sharp listener and extremely
[396]
disciplined. If you have committed a mental mistake or you are being lazy, she will be
[400]
the first one to find out. Like if you send a simple note to her, she will ask you 'have
[406]
you gone through it' and if you have not, you cannot afford to say yes because she will
[411]
catch you because she will go through it three times.”
[414]
All of this makes it very clear that nothing is done without her approval and that she
[419]
is ultimately responsible for what her team does.
[422]
Deepika’s personal success has been undermined by her PR team and the aggressive tag seems
[428]
to have stuck now.
