Actress Deepika Padukone reacts on My Choice video
Over a month after her trending video My Choice created a storm over allegations of promoting pre-marital and extra-marital sex, Deepika Padukone has finally come out with her opinion on the entire controversy.
"It (the negative reaction) was disappointing at some level because we all know the intention. When Homi and the writers came up with the script, I read it and said there were a couple of lines I personally don't identify with. But that's his creative piece, I can't mess with it. But yes, as an individual there is more than one line that I as an individual do not endorse. I do not stand for," Deepika said in an interview to Film Companion. More than the controversy, Deepika said that she was disappointed because it took away attention from the issue.
"I look at the video from a macro perspective and not a micro perspective. What is disappointing is (it is) an issue that is so relevant, and we choose to pick out certain lines from the larger point that the film was trying to make and blow it completely out of context," said Deepika.
When asked why she she chose to keep silent for such a long time before finally reacting on the whole controversy, Deepika said: "I have never been someone who reacts on the spur of the moment. You have to let these things breathe. You have to let people react. It didn't need my reaction at that point. I have never been someone to jump in and give my opinion.
