On Wednesday, actor Alia Bhatt reacted in support of mom-to-be Deepika as she faced trolling over her baby bump after her recent appearance. On May 20, Deepika stepped out to cast her vote in the fifth phase of the Mumbai Lok Sabha Election 2024. However, she was trolled by a section of netizens who made some nasty comments about her baby bump. Amid the ongoing trolling of the actress on social media, a senior journalist, Faye D’Souza, penned a strongly-worded post on her official Instagram account and showed her solidarity with Deepika.

In her post, Faye wrote, “Dear social media, Deepika Padukone stepped out to do her democratic duty and vote. She did not ask for your feedback on her body or her pregnancy. You have no right to comment on any aspect of her life. Stop it. Behave.” Alia was quick to like the post. In fact, Alia’s sisters, Pooja Bhatt and Shaheen Bhatt, and her mother, Soni Razdan, liked the post too.

Reacting to the post, actress Shruti Seth wrote, “Luckily @deepikapadukone is too busy taking over the world to give a damn! She’s walking all over their damn opinions.” Actress Aahana Kumra commented, “Good on you Faye.” TV star Tina Datta said, “Exactly! People have lost it.”

Deepika Padukone announced her pregnancy earlier this year with a heartfelt Instagram post. On February 29, the actress along with Ranveer Singh shared the post that read, September 2024.
