Rijuta Ghosh Deb speaks about going viral as Deepika Padukone’s lookalike on social media; says it has its share of negativity – Times of India ►

Rijuta told a news portal that going viral has its fair share of hatred and negativity. Unnecessary hate on social media has always been a part of the platform. However, she has never been a fan of the same. According to her, selective viewing is the only way to retain mental health.

Along with the recognition and love, the young diva has also been receiving a lot of hate. Unsavoury comments, like ‘Sasta movie version’ and ‘first copy’, reportedly forced the Kolkata-born digital creator to take a conscious decision to avoid comments for her mental health.

Citing the example of Alia Bhatt’s lookalike, Celesti Bairagey, who bagged a TV show, Rijuta pointed out that going viral also has its advantages. She also added that it makes her happy that people are getting such opportunities to pursue their dreams.

She also went on to say that she wouldn’t call herself Deepika’s doppelganger. ‘Om Shanti Om’ released when Rijuta was in school and ever since then, she has been told how they look similar. While she agreed they do have certain similarities, she also added that they are also a lot different.
