Deepika's 'hijab' look in Abu Dhabi ad sparks debate online

Deepika, who appears in the ad with her husband and fellow actor Ranveer Singh, is no stranger to controversy. She earlier attracted ire on social media for her appearance at Delhi’s Jawaharlal Nehru University during the anti-CAA protests and for sporting an orange bikini in the song “Besharam Rang” in “Pathan”.

Padukone now joins her husband as the brand ambassador for Experience Abu Dhabi, the destination brand of the Department of Culture and Tourism-Abu Dhabi.
