After the actress began getting life threats and announcements of being rewarded for beheading her, Deepika Padukone couldn’t refrain but request the Mumbai police to provide security to her life. On that note, the Mumbai Police tightened security of the actress who has recently played the titular role of Queen Padmavati in noted film director Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s upcomiing movie Padmavati.
ANI today published pictures of the security cover given to the actress in view of the threats from the right-wing outfit, which is demanding a ban on Padmavati’s release over what it calls ”the glaring distortion of historical facts” by the makers of the movie.

A heavy posse of security men has been deployed outside the actress’s residence as well as the office in Mumbai.
“The Mumbai Police have increased actor Deepika Padukone’s security after the outfit issued the nose chopping threat,” Joint Commissioner of Police (Law and Order) Deven Bharti was quoted as saying by PTI.
The Rajput Karni Sena had on Thursday warned of physical harm in case she did not refrain from “inciting public sentiments”.
Karni Sena leader Mahipal Singh Makrana invoked the nose chopping of ‘Surpanakha’ in the epic Ramayana and said if the Bollywood film “Padmavati” was not banned and Padukone does not refrain from fanning sentiments with her provocative language, the Rajputs will not lag behind in acting.
