New Delhi, July 16 -- A picture doing the rounds on social media claims to show a screenshot of actor Deepika Padukone's Instagram story, in which she is claimed to have supported activist Sonam Wangchuk, who is on a hunger strike at Jantar Mantar, Delhi.

The message on the screenshot read, "He [Wangchuk] is fasting. We are scrolling. Why is no one speaking about this? We are living through the darkest hour of democracy. No matter how many films are made to glorify a failed leader, the reality remains unchanged."

Many on social media shared the screenshot of the viral post. One such X user claimed, "OMG!!!! As per reddit, Deepika Padukone posted a story supporting Sonam Wangchuk, where she criticized the BJP, but later deleted it."

No....
