Prakash Raj, the veteran actor of Indian Cinema, shared a cartoon that had a palette of Padukone's celluloid characters and it read- Bold in Real, and then it had a cartoon of the actress herself that read- Bold in Real. Here it is:

Thank you @deepikapadukone ... thank you for being a true INDIAN .. pic.twitter.com/eHiYNCXA1R

Another filmmaker, Vikramaditya Motwane had a rather scathing take on this and he tweeted this:

Deepika’s stand is going to make a lot of young people question their parents, their peers and their government. Hopefully they’ll go out and educate themselves. And not parrot everything authority tells them.
She’s a true hero.
