Deepika Padukone’s social experiment for 'Chhapaak'
'Chhapaak' is about the fight and life acid attack survivors. For the promotion of the film, Deepika Padukone did a social experiment in her recent post on her social media handles. She uploaded a video in which the actor turns into her onscreen character, Malti.
She then goes out to several places, with other acid attack survivors to observe people’s behaviour. The team hid cameras to capture the same.
Deepika with others went to an electronics shop, a supermarket, an accessories shop and a clothes market. The places were crowded with shoppers and sellers. While some helped her, others refused to even talk to her and went away without providing any help. See the video.
