Deepika Padukone's Hollywood co-star Ruby Rose reacts to Padmavati row

Rose, with whom Padukone had shared screen space in Hollywood film 'xXx: Return of Xander Cage', tweeted: "I am in shock at reading what my dear friend is going through but in absolute awe of her strength and courage. Deepika you are one of the strongest women I know."

Rose's reaction came after Padukone recently in an interview stated that she is deeply hurt and angry on the whole controversy.

Padmavati evoked a huge controversy after several fringe groups alleged that director Sanjay Leela Bhansali has distorted history in his upcoming film.

The groups have even said they will not allow the portrayal of Rani Padmini, to be played by Padukone, in a wrong way.

Taking the controversy to a new low, a Karni Sena leader has threatened to chop off actor Deepika Padukone's nose as the latter reacted sharply to the ongoing controversy centred on the film recently.

Reacting sharply to the vandalisation of a Kota mall recently, Padukone said people have regressed as a nation. "It's appalling, it's absolutely appalling. What have we gotten ourselves into? And where have we reached as a nation? We have regressed."

The actress even said nothing can stop the release of the film, drawing comments form the leaders of Karni Sena.

Reacting to it, threats were issued to do physical harm to Padukone.

Padukone had earlier urged Information and Broadcasting minister Smriti Irani to take legal actions after few protesters who had vandalised artist Karan K's Rangoli, which was inspired by film Padmavati.

The Supreme Court has recently dismissed a Public Interest Litigation (PIL) demanding a stay on the release of  Bhansali’s  film Padmavati.

The top court suggested that the Censor Board should take an independent view over the issue, saying it can’t substitute role of CBFC.

Amid the running feuds,  the censor board, has sent the movie back to the makers as the application for the certification was “incomplete."

According to media reports, the application was sent back to the filmmakers through an online process on November 16.
