Deepika Padukone looks pretty in polka dots for a ‘Chhapaak’ promotional event – Times of India

Deepika Padukone’s production debut ‘Chhapaak’ released last week, but the work’s not over for the star just yet. The actress, who turned producer for the film, has been going the extra mile to keep promoting the film and making sure everyone watches it for its powerful and socially relevant message.

With the film slowly raking in the big bucks at the theatres, the actress stepped out with her director Meghna Gulzar, for a promotional activity at a theatre. For the special appearance, the actress rocked a polka-dotted frilly dress that she paired with a leather headband and matching heels.

This comes a day after she shared a video of a social experiment undertaken by her team to see how acid is easily available at stores despite its sale being outlawed.

Team ‘Chhapaak’ has been putting in great effort to make the general public aware of the trauma and consequences of acid attacks.

The 34-year-old actor shared the IGTV video along with a caption that read, “Won’t Buy Won’t Sell – A Chhapaak Social Experiment. Acid has corroded many lives, crushed many dreams, dashed many hopes and scarred many futures.”

Clocking in at five-minutes and twenty-seven seconds, the video saw a bunch of actors going undercover to buy acid from shops around the city.

Deepika herself monitored the whole sequence from a car and looked shocked to see how easily people are manipulating the shopkeepers to get acid and how retailers are ready to sell it.
