Deepika Padukone accepts drug chats with Karishma; NCB unsatisfied by some of her answers

Deepika Padukone admitted to the chats on drugs with her manager Karishma Prakash during their questioning by Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) on Saturday, sources said. They both were brought face to face and questioned about the chats from 2017, which the actor confirmed. The second round of questioning dawns on the duo as Deepika Padukone's unsatisfactory answers did not please the investigating agency.
