Deepika Padukone's visit to Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU) just a few days before her movie Chhapaak's release caused a lot of uproar among people. Now, the actress is facing more repercussions from brands.

Many brand endorsements involving Deepika are thinking of ways to deal with the situation as it has become a national issue in India. People have been boycotting everything associated with the Bollywood actress.

According to Economic Times, some brands associated with Deepika have stated that they will be reducing the visibility of ads featuring her in the short term. Moreover other celebrity managers feel that this move of the ‘Padmaavat’ actress could see an inclusion of a clause regarding celebrities taking a political stand.
