    Deepika had posted a video on her social media a few years back, claiming that sex before marriage was a woman's choice.





    The valiant yet honest statement sparked outrage on the internet and received a lot of backlash. Netizens trolled the actor mercilessly.





    Many internet users reacted to Deepika Padukone's post by calling her morally incorrect.





    "That is betraying your future spouse," one person wrote, expressing his outrage.





    On the contrary, some complimented Deepika and labelled her a feminist for speaking out about the unspoken. The statement sparked much debate on social media, forcing Deepika to clarify her statement.





    "It is said that marriage and its customs were sacred. Also, I had no intention of betraying or mistreating my fiancé.," she said in a clarification.





    Deepika was born in Copenhagen, Denmark, on January 5, 1985, and raised in Bangalore, India. Prakash Padukone, a well-known badminton player, is her father. She began her modelling career by spending much of her childhood on the badminton court. She also competed at a national level in badminton.
