On Friday, Bollywood stars Deepika Padukone and Ranbir Kapoor were photographed outside filmmaker Luv Ranjan's house. The duo has reportedly signed a film with the director.
Soon after their pictures surfaced on social media, a hashtag #notmydeepika started by her fans started trending on Twitter.
Reportedly, Deepika's fans are disappointed with the actress for signing a film with #metoo accused director. Here are some of the reactions on Twitter:
In 2018, Luv Ranjan was accused by an actress for sexual misconduct. The actress, in a tell-all interview, had told that director had asked her to strip to her panties when she went to audition for a movie in 2010. The director, however, denied all allegations of sexual harassment against him.
"I apologise to whoever I have caused hurt, whoever I have not made feel comfortable enough. I apologise for not being able to communicate my intent. I apologise for not being able to make someone feel that I am the man that I have aspired to be and I believe I am," Ranjan had said in a statement.
Deepika is yet to clarify if she has signed for a film with Luv Ranjan.
