Deepika Padukone: Dont Agree With Infidelity, Empowerment is Equality - NDTV Movies

"I was a bit disappointed with the reaction, but I'm someone who will always look at the positive side and tell myself there is a large part of people who understood what I was trying to do. There were certain issues I had with the script itself from the couple of lines that were given to me but I dove into it keeping the larger initiative in mind. I personally do not endorse infidelity of any kind. For me trust marriage and honesty is a very sacred thing."

Great so misguide youth and then silently say that I dont agree with it.

 

[mhsabir]

Maybe she is planning a career in politics?

 

[Sushubh]

so basically she went ahead with it even though she did not agree with it? what an actor. must be given an award or something.

 

[mhsabir]

Many actors do say they do things because "its the demand of the script"

 

[Sushubh]

Those things usually are not public service announcements

Yes commercial acting is different.

But promoting what you do not believe is very immoral and irresponsible.

 

[Sushubh]

commercial ads are also different. i mean i already criticize these actors for promoting products that they do not use themselves. i mean check any actor endorsing an android smartphone (or blackberry). all his tweets would usually be from an iPhone/ipad.

but the vogue video was a public message. women empowerment. not a commercial for vogue. she was not saying buy vogue because it's the best magazine out there.

so this is very different from movies and regular commercials.

 

[mhsabir]

Well, it was commercial in one way..

 

[mhsabir]

It got a negative reaction. But a positive reaction would have garnered a lot of attention for Vogue (and perhaps strengthened Deepika's position in the industry). So , I am 50-50 in terms of seeing that as purely PSA...
