What she did was fantastic and it would be stupid of us to talk about that. We stand by her. All of us have to stand by her… but we should not trivialise it and make it a part of conversation.” On Sunday, Deepika reacted to a video link that was tweeted out by The Times of India, saying ‘OMG: Deepika Padukone’s Cleavage Show’. Padukone tweeted back, saying: “YES! I am a Woman. I have breasts AND a cleavage! You got a problem!!??” IANS
