Union minister and BJP leader Babul Supriyo on Tuesday said Bollywood actor Deepika Padukone meeting a specific group of students on the JNU campus and "ignoring" others in the midst of promotion of her film Chhapaak, has "not gone down well" with some people. Supriyo said the names of some members of the group the actor had met with, have now surfaced as accused (in connection with the violence in the varsity). Addressing reporters, the BJP leader also slammed the trolls for making derogatory remarks against the actor over her visit.
Ahead of the release of her film Chhapaak, Padukone visited the JNU on January 7 to express solidarity with students who were attacked by masked assailants two days earlier. The visit triggered a backlash from many netizens. Addressing a press conference in support of the Citizenship (Amendment) Act (CAA) in Chhattisgarh's Durg district, Supriyo also accused Opposition parties of spreading "false propaganda" about the new law. Responding to a query on Padukone getting trolled on social media, the MoS for Forest and Environment said, "I am a big admirer of Deepika Padukone. Even I have named my younger daughter as Naina after Padukone's character in her film Yeh Jawani hai Deewani.
