It has been a tough ride for team Padmavati till now. With countless threats pouring in from the Karni Sena to ban the film, the Central Board of Certification (CBFC) expressing its displeasure on the pre-screening of the film to selected journalists and religious outfits' outrageous outpour against the historical drama, one woman is single-handedly running the show. Deepika Padukone in the truest sense is living up to her courageous character of Rani Padmini from the film. With the breaking announcement of Padmavati's release being deferred, Deepika shows no sign of slowing down and is holding the baton for the film's promotions.

The actress was today seen at Mumbai's domestic airport taking a chartered flight to Vijayawada, where she is a part of  India's first Social Media Summit Awards (SMSA). The two-day event is ongoing at a convention center in Vijayawada, and Deepika is among the guests of honor at the do.

Last night, the feisty actress went on  Bigg Boss 11 stage where she danced to Ghoomar and promoted the film alongside host Salman Khan.

That is not all. Despite receiving death threats from the Shri Rajput Karni Sena, Deepika's promotional bandwagon is unstoppable. Accompanied by Mumbai Police allotted security personnel and bodyguards, Deepika is leaving no stone unturned to fill in the shoes of Ranveer Singh and Shahid Kapoor, the other two lead actors, who are nowhere to be seen promoting their mega-budget film.

Just like her character of the warrior princess ‘Mastani’ in Bhansali's Bajirao Masatni, Deepika's spirit is unbreakable. Holding her head high, epitomizing the values of the fierce Rajput Rani Padmini, Deepika is fighting her battle against all odds, with no fear!
