Deepika Padukone Fans 'Serve' Decorated Comebacks to American Who Failed to Recognise Her at BAFTA

The enchanting aura of Bollywood’s ‘Shanti Priya’ graced BAFTA 2024, and no one can dispute this undeniable ‘fact’! Striding down the red carpet at London’s Royal Festival Hall, adorned in a resplendent white saree paired with a matching backless blouse, Deepika Padukone epitomised grace, elegance, and unparalleled beauty – truly a GODDESS, if ever there was one. The moment clips and images of her entrance circulated, the melodious tune of ‘Ajab Si’ echoed in everyone’s minds, for indeed, Shanti Priya from ‘Om Shanti Om’ had come to life.

Such was the fervour that her entire fanbase erupted in adoration from all corners. In the midst of this, an American user on ‘X’ shared a snapshot of her in the resplendent white saree with the caption, “Idk who she is but girl ate that look. istg if Dua doesn’t serve like this…” Upon learning it was Deepika, this Dua Lipa fan responded, “Idk but that outfit is everything, watching some random girl eat so bad and then there’ll be Dua in a plain black gown.”

And so commenced the spirited defenses as Indian fans refused to let their star be labeled a “random girl,” flooding the comments section with affirmations of her stature. “The biggest female superstar in India right now.. Deepika Padukone,” proclaimed one.
