RT if you too feel disgusted @shahidkapoor @deepikapadukone @arjunk2@Varun_dvn @karanjohar @vickykaushal09."
The actors are yet to comment on the issue, but politician Milind Deora refuted Sirsa's claims.

Today, Deepika Padukone is the reigning queen of Bollywood who has given back-to-back hits like “Padmavat.” But a few years ago she was just a Bollywood star like others. Even then, when she had an opportunity to work with the Bhaijaan she somehow managed to reject the proposal. So, everyone is wondering as to why the wife of Ranvir Singh is not so keen on pairing up with Salman.
Although nothing has surfaced until now, it seems that there is a sort of unstated hostility between these two stars due to which fans are yet to see both of them sharing screen space. According to a close friend of the “Piku” actress the 53-old-actor has until now worked with heroines who pamper him and laugh at his jokes. In other words, most of these actresses have a comfort level with Salman and are ready to overlook certain things of the superstar to ensure that they continue to remain in his circle.
Contrary to that, Deepika has always stood her grounds and ensured that she gets her way. She has come up through her dedication and hard work without any Godfather to back. Recently, when Salman Khan called depression being a luxury, Deepika immediately hit back.
So, there is a major difference in personal values and comfort level between the two stars and hence in the future also it is highly unlikely that Deepika will work with Salman Khan. It is not the first time that any actress has decided against working with Salman. Before Deepika, even Juhi Chawla refused to do any movie with the “Sultan” star.

Deepika Padukone shared a string of photograph of herself on Instagram in a ravishing purple ensemble, which she chose to wear on the 20th edition of International Indian Film Academy (IIFA) Awards here.
She captioned it: "I purple you."
Her husband and Bollywood's livewire actor could not take his eye away from her photograph and commented: "Baby... You're killin me."
Ranveer is aoften seen showing affection towards wife and actress Deepika on social media. The two are also often seen posting comments on each others pics and tagging on memes.
On the work front, Ranveer and Deepika will next be seen in Kabir Khan's "'83". The movie is expected to hit the theaters in April 2020.
But when the “Padmavaat” actress suddenly asked a hatke question to the photographers who were waiting for her at the airport they were stunned. It so happened that while coming out of the airport photographers as usual started clicking asking for a shot or a picture to which the actress asked, “Aap log thak nahi jate ho?” The question was quite surprising as usually, either the celebrities cooperate and pose to give pictures or just deny them any support.
But they are rarely so kind enough to acknowledge that clicking pictures forgetting whether it is day or night is indeed a very tiring job.

Next Deepika will be seen in “83” which is based on the life of legendary Indian cricketer Kapil Dev. Once again she will be paired opposite her husband Ranveer Singh who will play the lead role whereas Deepika is portraying Romi Dev in the movie. Deepika is also doing a movie on the life of an acid survivor and crusader. Titled “Chappak” the actress is also producing this flick.
Known for doing different roles, Deepika in the last few years has carved a niche for herself in Bollywood and today is the most successful actress of the Indian film industry. Importantly, her major hits have been with her husband Ranveer Singh and her ex-boyfriend Ranbir Kapoor. Fans would love to see her being paired with the new breed of actors like Vicky Kaushal, Rajkummar Rao, and Ayushmann Khurana.
Things have changed for both Deepika and Ranveer career-wise in the last few years since they met. In the beginning, when they started dating, the Om Shanti Om” actress was very busy with her work and often used to come home late or even could not return and shoot late night till the wee hours of the morning. At that time, the “Gully Boy” actor had less work and was not that busy. Even then he never complained to Deepika about her absence or overworking.
He accepted her availability as was possible. Today things have changed. Ranveer Singh is a very busy actor and although Deepika is also the reigning queen of Bollywood, she has slowed down with no release in 2019. Despite this fact, the behaviour of Ranveer has remained the same. According to Deepika Padukone, her husband ensured that nothing came in between their relationship and it is very unique and special.
That is the reason she decided to move ahead and marry him. The couple will be seen reprising their real-life roles of husband and wife in “83” a biopic on the life of legendary cricketer Kapil Dev. In the movie, the “Padmavat” actress will be portraying Romi Dev.
