Deepika Padukone, a prominent Bollywood actress, and her husband, actor Ranveer Singh, recently returned to Mumbai amidst a storm of online trolling. The couple has been the target of unfounded accusations and hate comments regarding Deepika's pregnancy. Trolls have accused her of faking her baby bump, leading to a fierce backlash from her loyal fans who have rallied to her defense.


Deepika Padukone, who is currently juggling her movie promotions with her pregnancy, has been a subject of intense scrutiny. She is eagerly anticipating the release of her upcoming film, Kalki 2898 AD. Despite the joyous news of her first child with Ranveer Singh, the couple has had to face online vitriol. Just recently, Deepika appeared at a pre-release event for Kalki 2898 AD alongside co-stars Prabhas and Amitabh Bachchan, glowing in a black bodycon dress that highlighted her baby bump. After the event, the couple enjoyed a babymoon in London, painting the town red before returning to Mumbai.

As soon as the couple landed in Mumbai, the paparazzi captured them walking hand in hand, looking stylish as ever. Ranveer sported black pants, a matching jacket, and a grey beret, while Deepika flaunted her baby bump in a fitted t-shirt paired with a sleeveless jacket featuring fur detailing. Her look was completed with gold hoops, black sunglasses, and a sleek ponytail. However, despite her radiant appearance, trolls wasted no time flooding social media with comments doubting the authenticity of her pregnancy.

One particularly harsh comment questioned the varying sizes of her baby bump, insinuating it was fake. Another troll outright called it a "fake belly." These baseless accusations prompted an outpouring of support from Deepika's fans. They quickly came to her defense, calling out the trolls for their unreasonable and hurtful remarks. One fan highlighted the double standards, pointing out that when Deepika wears loose clothes, people accuse her of hiding her bump, but when she wears tight clothes, they accuse her of showing off. The fan passionately urged others to "let the woman live."

Another supporter expressed anger at the constant judgment faced by pregnant women, emphasizing that the criticism was unfair and baseless. The fan criticized the hypocrisy of people who have a problem with both tight and loose clothing on pregnant women, asserting that such comments are nothing but unreasonable hate.

As the couple prepares to welcome their first child in September, Deepika and Ranveer continue to face the challenges of public scrutiny. Fans are hopeful that the trolls will heed their words and focus on showering the parents-to-be with love and positivity instead of spreading hate.
