Deepika Padukone WITHDRAWS Her Name From The Global Entrepreneurship Summit

The Global Entrepreneurship Summit (GES) is scheduled to be held on November 28 in Hyderabad.

Besides India’s PM Narendra Modi, US President Donald Trump’s daughter Ivanka Trump and a few more dignitaries, Deepika Padukone was also one of the speakers at the event.

However, Deepika Padukone has now withdrawn her name from the summit. "Earlier Deepika Padukone was expected to be in that session but now she has declined," said Jayesh Ranjan, Secretary, Information Technology, Government of Telangana confirming the news.

The reason behind Deepika’s exit is unknown but reports are floating that it's primarily due to the Padmavati controversy.

Deepika Padukone, along with Team Padmavati, is obviously upset with the protests happening across the country threatening ban on the film. Some political leaders have even given life threats to Deepika and Bhansali. Few have even announced rewards for beheading the actress and chopping off her nose.

Despite Sanjay Leela Bhansali confirming it more than once that the film has nothing that would hurt religious sentiments, Padmavati's release has been postponed. The film starring Ranveer Singh, Shahid Kapoor and Deepika Padukone, was initially scheduled to release on December 1. SpotboyE.com brought to you exclusively that the film might release on February 14, 2018, now.


So, has Deepika Padukone withdrawn her name from the summit to refrain from any public appearance at the moment?
