Deepika Padukone

During the conversation with the tabloid, Deepika voiced that though ‘Aarakshan’ is a film which revolves around a sensitive social issue, reservation, one can’t draw a conclusion whether the film depicts the issue in a positive way or negative way without seeing the film.

She said, “Since it is such a sensitive issue, I am not surprised that certain people have certain issues with the film. Having said that, being a part of the film, I believe it is unfair for people to react at a stage when they haven't seen the film.

Reportedly, the ‘Aarakshan’ star Amitabh, who plays the role of a principled college principal in the flick, while promoting the film in Patna on Wednesday, stated that every national should be treated equally, but at the same time, underprivileged should be helped.

The megastar further stated that reservation is a constitutional reality in India and we need to accept it.

Big B told TOI, "Every citizen should get equal attention and opportunity. Those hailing from humble background should be provided due prop."

As her forthcoming film ‘Aarakshan’ focuses on the sensitive issue of caste-based reservation in educational institutions, Deepika, when asked for her stance on reservation, stated that she is neither for nor against it.

Citing the reason why she cannot declare that reservation is good or bad, the bombshell said that after working in a film like ‘Aarakshan’, which is based on reservation, she has now learned that the issue has its own merits and demerits.

Thus, choosing to stand for or against it is really tough to decide.
