Dont talk about Woman's Empowerment when YOU don't know how to RESPECT Women! (sic),” Deepika had posted.

It is the high camera angle not a low neckline. What is low is the standard of journalism. Downright SICK!!! @deepikapadukone

Brilliant strike @deepikapadukone. So fearless a message and truly inspiring coming from you as a role model to millions of women all over.

An actor has just as much right to react to an image of their body as anyone does. Fame doesn't veto your gender or your self-respect.

firmly with @deepikapadukone on this.
— Harsha Bhogle (@bhogleharsha) September 14, 2014
