Siddhant Chaturvedi was 'furious' after influencer made snide remarks on Deepika Padukone's clothes

Deepika Padukone had also reacted to the targeted joke on her clothes with an Instagram post, however, it wasn't addressed to anyone specific.

New Delhi: Heartthrob Siddhant Chaturvedi recently came to his Gehraiyaan co-star Deepika Padukone's defence as he was asked about the criticism she faced for her clothing style during the promotions of the film.

Specifically, the question was derived from a social media influencer Freddy Birdy's Instagram post who shared a sarcastic remark targetting Deepika for her 'short clothes'. He wrote, "The clothes will get tinier as the Gehraiyaan release date approaches."

Talking about the same, Siddhant said that it was very upsetting to hear such comments. He told Bollywood Bubble, "I was really furious because at this stage, where we have progressed, it’s 2022 and as you say, ‘Kandhe se kandhe mila ke chaliye."
