Looking at the rushes of Sanjay Leela Bhansali's Ram Leela, we would all agree that Deepika is the best thing about the whole splash of colour and emotions. That is why, news of the film’s makers editing some of the ‘interesting’ scenes for communal sentiments comes as a bummer.
When Deepika Padukone decided to attend a garba night in Ahmedabad to pomote her film "Ram Leela" and soak up some festive fun, little did she know what waited her there.
The actress, who was expecting a warm welcome, got the biggest shock of her life when she was greeted by a mob of angry protestors instead, waiting to pelt her with eggs and tomatoes, an attack she narrowly escaped.
According to a leading national daily, a group of protestors arrived at the venue to protest against “Ram-Leela.”
Just before they could pelt eggs and tomatoes at the actress, they learnt that the filmmakers have agreed to edit the controversial content from the film.
“It seems the protestors, allegedly from the Jadeja and the Rabari community, were seething with anger due to some portions of the film and were ready to attack the actress and organizers of the garba event. However, they were informed that director Sanjay Leela Bhansali has decided to edit those portions and has spoken to community leaders about the same. Thus peace prevailed.” reported TOI.
Not minding the possible embarrassment, Deepika Padukone went on to enjoy the singing and dancing like there is no tomorrow. The garba night turned out be quite fun at the end. Hopefully, Ramleela allows us to have some fun too. What say guys?
