BAFTA 2024: Internet Reacts to Post Referring to Deepika Padukone as 'Some Random Girl'

Deepika Padukone continues to capture hearts worldwide with each international appearance. Fresh from making a statement at BAFTA 2024, where she presented an award in a dazzling Sabyasachi saree, the actress has garnered widespread praise. Interestingly, a post on X featured a comparison between Deepika and singer Dua Lipa, with the caption expressing admiration for Deepika's look despite the poster not knowing who she was. The caption read, "Idk who she is but girl ate that look," accompanied by a picture of Deepika in her saree. The post added, "Istg if Dua doesn't serve like this," with a note for those unfamiliar with Internet slang, explaining that "IDK" means "I don't know," and "ISTG" stands for "I swear to God."

"I don't know who she is," the X user reiterated as comments started identifying Deepika Padukone. In response to a comment, the user expressed, "I don't know, but that outfit is everything." The use of the term 'random' sparked a reaction. "Random? She's the biggest IT girl of Bollywood," retorted an offended individual, advising others to explore the actress' past appearances. Additional comments in the thread highlighted Deepika's notable achievements.

Despite Deepika Padukone's growing global presence, her name remains unknown to some. Despite presenting at the Oscars last year, serving on the Cannes Film Festival jury the previous year, and making multiple appearances at the Met Gala, there are still individuals unfamiliar with her. The international press shares some responsibility in this matter, as agencies like Getty and certain media outlets have mistakenly identified Deepika as model Camila Alves, who is married to actor Matthew McConaughey.

Meanwhile, the mentioned X post also misrepresented Dua Lipa – she did not wear a plain black gown to the BAFTAs. Instead, she looked stunning in a caped red dress by Valentino.

Deepika Padukone's most recent film appearance was in "Fighter" alongside Hrithik Roshan. She also has "Kalki 2898 AD" with Prabhas upcoming.
