- No evidence found on Deepika's verified social media or reliable reports.
- Viral image appears digitally manipulated, claim is unsubstantiated.
A viral screenshot claiming actress Deepika Padukone shared and subsequently deleted an Instagram Story supporting activist Sonam Wangchuk has been circulating widely online. The alleged post contained a photograph of Wangchuk and critical commentary on democracy. However, investigations by reliable sources found no credible evidence to support these claims. A review of Padukone's verified Instagram account and digital archives revealed no record of such a post ever being live. The viral screenshot is widely believed to be digitally manipulated, making the claim that she posted and deleted the content unsubstantiated.
Meanwhile, Sonam Wangchuk is currently on an indefinite hunger strike at Delhi's Jantar Mantar. His protest is in solidarity with the Cockroach Janta Party's agitation concerning the NEET-UG 2026 examination irregularities. Amid growing concerns for his health, numerous figures from the film industry, including Swara Bhasker and Anurag Kashyap, have publicly voiced their support for Wangchuk and urged governmental dialogue. As of now, there is no verified link between Deepika Padukone and the disputed Instagram Story.
