Apart from starring in Bollywood movies, Deepika Padukone also runs the Live, Laugh, Love foundation that helps people with mental illnesses. To support charities, the actress often sells clothes from her closets. The actress has put up couture and non-couture items in the Live Laugh Love website, where netizens can buy the clothes on sale. However, on Tuesday, the actress landed in controversy for putting up two specific clothing items up for sale.
The first was a pin-tuck top that she wore for her Houseful co-star and actress Jiah Khan’s funeral. The second eas a long kurti Deepika wore at Priyanka Chopra’s father, Dr Ashok Chopra’s prayer meet. The two items of clothing infuriated fans, who called it a ‘cheap act’ to sell the two kurtis. A twitter user wrote, “I am so shocked.. my favourite Deepika Padukone has auctioned her non couture clothes from 2013.. I repeat 2013 that she wore to different funeral events. Low blow!”

They further wrote, “Don’t justify this by telling me she is doing it for charity.. you cannot be reselling Zara’s .. jhoothis…10 15 year old ordinary brand clothes.. Why can’t you just give it to needy or your househelp?.”

Take a look at some reactions from netizens who trolled Deepika for selling her clothes.
Even if she sells 50 items, she will make 150K max that is like loose change for these people. Instead of selling it for “charity” she should’ve given these clothes to needy.— Twitt3r’s Moira Rose!! (@Chhokkwangun) August 17, 2021
Such a cheap act.. For everything they go for donations with PR all over but she couldn’t even donate her old clothes?? What kind of ppl go and buy these second hand stuff.. crazy ..— Ruchi ???????????? (@Ruchi4Tweets) August 16, 2021
They’ll do anything to swallow bucks!We middle-class folks give away clothes every now and then. And then too, we’re sensitive of what we pass on, what state the clothes are in, and how old/new they are. India survives on our taxes and our charities.

We don’t give even slightly torn or too worn out clothes to maids, we may not be as rich as them, but surely much more respectable— हर हर महादेव???????? (@sarangthacker) August 16, 2021
