Sonam Kapoor reacts post on Deepika Padukone

Deepika Padukone is on the verge of creating history, as she prepares to receive a star on the iconic Hollywood Walk of Fame. This significant recognition will make her the first mainstream Indian actress to be honoured in such a manner.

While fans across the country have been celebrating the news with immense pride, a new layer to the story has surfaced — involving the cost behind the coveted star and the silent reaction of actress Sonam Kapoor.

The conversation took off after popular fashion and culture watchdog Diet Sabya posted a cryptic yet revealing message on Instagram.

The post read, “Deepu’s getting a Hollywood Walk of Fame Star. Confirmed na? Fun fact: Once you get nominated (usually by fans who pay a nominal fee of 250 USD), the celebrity (or a brand that’s sponsoring said celeb) has to pay 75000-85000 USD for the installation and maintenance of the star.”

Though the post touched on various trending topics, it was this particular snippet about Deepika that caught netizens’ attention. What made the post even more intriguing was the quiet yet telling response from Sonam Kapoor and her sister Rhea Kapoor, who both liked the post — prompting widespread speculation about their intent.

While neither of the Kapoor sisters commented publicly, the timing and nature of their reaction led many to interpret it as a cryptic gesture — possibly raising eyebrows or subtly questioning the fanfare around Deepika’s honour.

Despite the chatter surrounding the financial aspect, Deepika’s fans have remained resolute in their admiration. Many expressed their pride on social media, with one user writing, “She’s unstoppable...” while another posted, “Deepika Padukone not only a global superstar, she’s Indian pride and joy!” One more added perspective to the debate, saying, “Every single Hollywood actor has had to pay for it! What’s the big deal?”

Regardless of the underlying politics or perceived shade, Deepika’s Walk of Fame star marks a milestone moment — not just in her career, but for Indian cinema on the global stage.
