Deepika Padukone’s Wimbledon Invite Receives Heat From Netizens, Here’s Why

Apart from being the reigning queen of Bollywood, Deepika Padukone has also been a professional badminton player for a good part of his life, thanks to her father, star badminton player Prakash Padukone. Even though Deepika had quit professional badminton for a while now, she still has a keen interest in the sport and tries to make it to all the important matches.

Thus, it was of no surprise that Deepika visited the Wimbledon final match between Novak Djokovic and Roger Federer. In fact, she was invited by the Wimbledon authorities for the match and the actress could not help herself from sharing the prestigious invite online. However, the invite had Ms. Deepika Padukone written on it and netizens did not waste time in pointing out the mistake. They immediately corrected that Deepika is not Ms. anymore but Mrs. instead. This has been an argument for a while and many have spoken up against the usage of Mrs. as a patriarchal practice and are working actively to eliminate the usage altogether. Netizens, however, did not seem happy with the usage of Ms. instead of Mrs. Check out the reactions.

On the work front, Deepika will next be seen in Meghna Gulzar’s Chhapak and will also play the role of Kapil Dev’s wife Romi Bhatia in Kabir Khan’s 83 opposite real-life husband Ranveer Singh.
