Two days ago, Bhakts were foaming at the mouth, trolling deepika padukone for wearing a hijab in an Abu Dhabi tourism ad. She was “sold out,” “anti-Hindu,” “unfit to represent India,” they screamed. Fast-forward 48 hours: the Modi government itself has appointed deepika as the Union ministry’s first-ever Mental health Ambassador. You can’t write satire sharper than this. Nobody trolls Bhakts better than their own father, narendra Modi. And in this masterstroke, deepika went from Bhakt punching bag to India’s mental health face.
1. Bhakts’ Short-Term Memory Loss
Yesterday, she was “anti-Hindu” for an ad. Toda,y she’s India’s official face for mental health. The irony writes itself.
2. The Hijab Hysteria
A tourism commercial triggered Bhakts more than unemployment, inflation, or china at the border. That tells you where priorities lie.
3. Modi’s Plot Twist
While Bhakts screamed online, Modi elevated deepika to a government platform. The man doesn’t just troll — he owns the narrative.
4. The DP Effect
Deepika isn’t just a bollywood star. She’s openly spoken about her mental health struggles. That credibility makes her a natural choice, while Bhakts remain anonymous trolls with zero achievements.
5. Urban Vote bank Play
This isn’t just about Deepika. It’s a calibrated move to woo educated, urban women who see DP as a slayer who bends the world to her will.
6. The Bhakt Humiliation
The very government Bhakts worship just endorsed the woman they tried to cancel. It’s poetic justice, Modi-style.
7. The Larger Lesson
Bhakts bark online. Modi plays the real game offline. And deepika just walked away with the win.
