'She is still the...': Why are Deepika Padukone’s fans lashing out at Alia Bhatt?

Both Deepika Padukone and Alia Bhatt are two of the biggest names in the Bollywood industry. Both have achieved a level of fame and stardom that many Bollywood fans aspire to have. They have also been a part of different Hollywood projects. Deepika Padukone starred in xXx: Return of Xander Cage alongside Vin Diesel. Alia Bhatt starred in Heart of Stone with Gal Gadot. Both enjoy a significant following, both globally and nationally. But it seems that Alia Bhatt's recent achievement of being the brand ambassador of Levi's has left Deepika's fans a bit disappointed.

What Exactly Happened?

On Friday, after Alia Bhatt was declared the brand ambassador of Levi's, the American clothing company, Deepika's fans questioned the decision. Fans asked why the Padmavat actress was removed from the role. Some people even accused Alia of being jealous of Deepika and trying to steal her position. Others went so far as to say that Alia Bhatt is insecure of Deepika.

Fans' Reactions

Deepika's fans have taken to social media to express their anger and disappointment at the move.

One user on X said, "She's so embarrassing; she'll never get tired of copying Deepika, and her fans are even more embarrassing for celebrating this," while another tweeted, "Why does Alia always try to do what Deepika has done?"
