It will be hard to believe if you haven’t yet watched the #VogueEmpower video featuring Deepika Padukone among many other powerful women of the country. You might have seen the male version as well! The video brought along a lot of negative feedback, and I would say, rightfully so. I fail to understand the strategy of Deepika’s PR team to portray her as a powerful feminist, because they end up showing Deepika as a hypocrite, all the time.
Like always, people on Twitter had wonderful reactions about the video and some came up with great jokes which shall be remembered for a very long time! Check out –
1. In case you thought the other way!
No. This #MyChoice video of Padukone has got nothing to do with publicity for Bajirao Mastani and two other movies to be released. No!

2. Indeed!
Throwing husband out of his own home is also explained as #MyChoice by some married women. #498A pic.twitter.com/6SNMgbF6Eh — Deepika Bhardwaj (@DeepikaBhardwaj) March 30, 2015
3. Because hey, #MyChoice is just for the ladies, okay?
Deepika:Kumar Vishwas why r u trending? KV: Alleged Adultery. D: Just say #MyChoice. KV: Our choice attracts IPC 497, 5 yrs Jail.So can’t!

4. That would be my mom too.
Me -Mom,Don’t be upset if I come home at 4am, Don’t be fooled if I come home at 6pm #MyChoice Mom- थप्पड़ लगाऊं या चप्पल से मारुं #MyChoice — WoMania Neverborn ✂ (@awk_doc) March 30, 2015
5. This could be a great answer, tbh.

6. Hindu woes.
Running a school (or medical college) without Govt interference. #MyChoice ? Not if I am Hindu. #RTE exactly does that to us. — Barbarian Indian (@barbarindian) March 30, 2015
7. So do I.
Strongly condemn all the secret misogynists who tricked Deepika Padukone into making this hilariously absurd #MyChoice video.

8. He could, actually. But this is women empowerment we’re talking about.
Kumar Vishwas shud show the #DeepikaVideo to his wife and say,”Sleeping with the volunteer was #MyChoice ” — Amit.A (@Amit_smiling) March 30, 2015
9. On second thoughts, yes.
After knowing what #MyChoice is all about, perhaps that cleavage episode was well coordinated with ToI. Joke is on Feminists. Lage raho…

10. Well played.
That awkward moment when you watch #DeepikaPadukone #MyChoice video and You Tube includes #PikuTrailer in suggestions. — Zaid Hamid (@SirZaidHamid) March 31, 2015
11. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Deepika wants to go to Goregaon, to meet Ranveer but her driver takes her to Pali hill (Ranbir), because it’s his choice. #celebdrivers

12. Now I am starting to think this is how she ends up in all the wrong places.
Deepika Padukone’s laptop shows a popup. “A new controversy update available, Click here to install” — God Particle (@Gott_Partikel) March 30, 2015
13. Aah me too. Sigh.
Being the offspring of a badminton legend, I was expecting Deepika to shed some light on shuttlecocks, not on shuttling between cocks.

14. Ins’t it?
Funny to see that the brand of fiery feminism that Deepika is so passionately expounding, too needs the crutches of sex to hobble across.
— Roflindian 2.0 (@Roflindian) March 30, 2015
15. Haah!
I strongly condemn that Deepika Padukone video whr she is encouraging woman to cheat on thr fiance & choose to elope Wait that was Ramleela
