They ask, what’s in a name? Trust me, a lot. And if you don’t believe me, ask the dimpled doll Deepika Padukone. The actress has recently featured among the Forbes Top 10 highest paid actresses of the world and she was pretty cock-a-hoop about it until she noticed the odd way her name was spelt by the magazine: Peedika Padukone.
While she kept mum on the issue (though she may have phoned one or two Forbes high-ups) her admirers threw a fit on social media. To be honest, Peedika sounds cuter than Deepika. Just sayin’!
