Taking a dig at Kangana Ranaut, another user shared: "Do y’all remember how Deepika hired her own bodyguards during the Padmaavat controversy even having death threats and bounties by the govt. Kangana got Y+ security as she just walked to the airport. This is how the govt works. Slightly smiling face #StandWithDeepika. See the difference."
"#StandWithDeepika Deepika paying the price for standing up against oppression. Deserves all the support," tweeted another.
