With Chhapaak, Deepika Padukone returned to the silver screen after two years. To celebrate the occasion, the actress was joined by her family members at a special screening of the film in Mumbai on Wednesday night. The actress got the loudest cheer from her actor-husband Ranveer Singh who showered her with hugs and kisses at the red carpet.
Along with Ranveer, Deepika’s father Prakash Padukone, mother Ujjala Padukone, sister Anisha Padukone, her in-laws -- Jugjeet Singh Bhavnani, Anju Bhavnani and Ritika Bhavnani attended the screening.
Posing for the paparazzi, the family looked happy and gleeful. Take a look:
Inspired from the life of activist Laxmi Agarwal, Chhapaak chronicles the journey of a feisty acid-attack survivor Malti (Deepika), who was attacked in Delhi's Khan Market at the age of 15, back in 2005. The act was seen as a revenge for Laxmi's refusal to marry Guddu, her friend's brother.
Deepika made quite a buzz on social media after her surprise visit to Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU) in Delhi on Tuesday, to show solidarity with students.
A day after, a section of Twitterati called for a boycott of Deepika's 'Chhapaak', while another section came out in her support and tweeted that it will watch the new movie based on the real-life story of an acid-attack victim.
Chhapaak hits the theatres on January 10 and also stars Vikrant Massey in a pivotal role.
