The ongoing controversy between Deepika Padukone and director Sandeep Reddy Vanga over the film 'Spirit' is not stopping. Although Deepika did not say anything directly on this controversy, in a recent statement given during an event, she clearly indicated that she stands firm on her decisions and this gives her mental peace.

Meanwhile, actress Tamannaah Bhatia has liked a reel on social media which is being considered an indirect support of Deepika Padukone. This reel highlights problems such as discrimination against women, such as gender pay gap, increased working hours, rude behavior and gender bias. This video is from a press conference during the promotion of Deepika Padukone's film 'Chhapaak', in which a journalist asked her if her husband Ranveer Singh had invested in this film. To this, Deepika immediately reacted and said, "This is my own earnings, who told you that he invested money?" With this statement, Deepika gave the message that women will no longer tolerate false rumors and discriminatory attitudes.

Actually, the controversy started when Deepika demanded to limit working hours on the sets of the film 'Spirit'. According to reports, Deepika refused to shoot for more than six hours a day, which angered director Sandeep Reddy Vanga. After this, the director made statements against Deepika in some media reports, terming her behavior as "unprofessional". Although he did not name Deepika in his social media post, he hinted at her being responsible. Also, when the story and some plots of the film 'Spirit' were leaked online, Sandeep Reddy Vanga angrily hinted on social media that this leak was due to Deepika. Soon after this, he announced that now the lead actress of the film will be Tripti Dimri.

Talking about the work front, Deepika Padukone was last seen in the film 'Singham Again'. After this, a little angel entered her life and she became a mother. Now once again Deepika is going to return to her career. If media reports are to be believed, she may soon be seen in the film 'King' with Shahrukh Khan, although no official confirmation has been made by Deepika on this yet.
