The leading British website Daily Mail is on the damage control mode now, terming Deepika Padukone as ‘India’s highest paid star’ after it failed to recognise the actress recently.
The website called Deepika a 'leggy brunette' and a ‘'female companion' when she was recently spotted dining out with tennis star Novak Djokovic in Los Angeles.
This obviously did not go down well with the Indians who took to twitter to give it back. While some took it in a light manner, few got offended and slammed the website for the act. And the glitch even reminded people of similar incident when Tennis star Maria Sharapova too raised eyebrows when she did not know who Sachin Tendulkar was! To be fair, Sharapova as an individual can be uninitiated... But how can a mainstream media organisation be so ill-informed?
