In an unexpected and somewhat controversial move, the PR team of Bollywood power couple Deepika Padukone and Ranveer Singh has stirred up a social media storm. As the couple prepares to welcome their first child, a campaign has been launched, encouraging fans to change their social media names to “Mommy Deepika” and “Daddy Ranveer” as a way to celebrate this significant milestone.

The campaign draws inspiration from the excitement that surrounded Deepika and Ranveer’s wedding, where fans enthusiastically took sides as “Ladkiwale,” “Ladkewale,” or simply “DeepVeer” fans. The new initiative aims to revive that spirit by inviting fans to unite once more and share in the joy of Deepika and Ranveer’s journey into parenthood.

The social media post, which was not directly shared by Deepika or Ranveer but by their PR team, urges fans to change their names at the beginning of September. The idea is that this collective act will show the couple how much they mean to their supporters. However, the move has backfired to some extent, as it has led to significant backlash online.

Many social media users have expressed their discomfort and annoyance at the PR stunt, labeling it as “cringe-worthy” and unnecessary. Comments ranged from confusion about the planet’s state to outright criticism of the fanaticism surrounding the couple. Some users went as far as mocking the PR team’s efforts, questioning the need for such extreme actions.

As the couple’s PR strategy faces scrutiny, Deepika and Ranveer find themselves at the center of a growing debate about the boundaries of fan culture and celebrity influence. While the intention might have been to create a sense of community and shared happiness, it seems to have left many questioning the appropriateness of the approach.

The controversy highlights the fine line between celebrating a celebrity’s personal milestones and overstepping into the realm of the absurd. As the story continues to unfold, it remains to be seen how Deepika and Ranveer will respond to the situation, if at all.
