After Priyanka Chopra and Fatima Sana Shaikh, it was Deepika Padukone’s turn to get a slice of misogyny, with a smattering of slut-shaming, pathetically wrapped in the garb of “Indian culture”.

The actress posted two pictures from a photoshoot she did for Maxim recently, which received some disgusting moral policing online.
