Deepika Padukone auctions clothes she wore for funerals, her ‘fans’  come to fighting mode:

Deepika Padukone was recently in the headlines because of controversy on social media after she was found auctioning clothes that she wore during funeral ceremonies. Recently popular Twitter user Maya (@Sharanyashettyy) shared pictures from the personal website of Deepika Padukone to showcase how the actress was auctioning clothes, dating back to 2013. She wrote, “I am so shocked…my favorite Deepika Padukone has auctioned her non-couture clothes from 2013… I repeat in 2013 that she wore to different funeral events. Low blow!”.

As per Maya, Padukone had auctioned the dresses she wore at the condolence meet of deceased actress Jiah Khan and the father of Priyanka Chopra. This includes a ‘white kurta with white-legged pants’ and a ‘Designer pintuck Lakhnavi Kurti’ worth ₹2,700 and ₹8,000 respectively. 

Later twitter also pointed out how the actress had been selling clothes worn on other occasions. She had questioned Deepika Padukone’s decision to auction them instead of donating them to a charity.

Maya asked, “Who the hell buys old, second-hand Zara or Jhuttis for god’s sakes!!!! Rather why would you sell it and not donate this to the needy… classless! Sheesh…Don’t justify this by telling me she is doing it for charity.. you cannot be reselling Zara’s .. Jhoothis…10 to 15-year-old ordinary brand clothes… Why can’t you just give it to the needy or your househelp?”
