New Delhi: Two days after Bollywood actress Deepika Padukone paid a surprise visit to Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU) in Delhi inviting extreme reactions, the Narendra Modi Government’s Skill Development Ministry has “dropped” a promotional video that had the actor speaking about acid attack survivors and Skill India, it is learnt.
“A promotional video to promote Skill India featuring Deepika Padukone was to be released on Wednesday. It was being circulated in the Shram Shakti Bhawan (Ministry office) too. But after Tuesday’s chain of events the video was abruptly dropped,” a senior official in the Ministry told a section of media. The Ministry, however, said on Thursday that it was only “evaluating” the video.
