The scandalous truth of actress Shweta Basu Prasad’s life shook Bollywood a while ago. The fact that Shweta had to give in to prostitution to earn a living and support her family had left all of us in shock. But instead of lending support to her, some of the B-towners chose to stay tight-lipped about this case including eminent Bollywood stars who otherwise speak out about social issues.

However, Deepika Padukone not only openly spoke about it but also asserted that people should support Shweta instead of insulting her. The actress said, “It’s unfortunate, but if that’s the only way she could support her family, I don’t think there’s anything wrong. Instead of making this a scandal, why are we not supporting her? We should in fact, step up and help her and talk about the people who have hired her. Not look down on her.”

Kudos to Dippy for being so flamboyant and courageous and speaking up about something that many are choosing to be silent about.
