Deepika Padukone is seeing red these days and for a reason.

The 'Finding Fanny' actress, we hear, is completely hacked off by a tawdry web gallery of her cleavage captioned as “OMG: Deepika Padukone's Cleavage Show.” The album, appearing in Times Of India's website, apparently features a gamut of her cleavage baring pics, exclusively shot from a higher angle.

Extremely vexed by such disregard, the actress vented on social media — “YES!I am a Woman. I have breasts AND a cleavage! You got a problem!!??.”

The gallery features similar images of other top-notch actresses like Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, Anushka Sharma and Kangna Ranaut too.

Times Of India responded to Deepika's tweet, but later deleted it. The gallery has also been deleted.

Padukone also put up a screen grab of the gallery and tweeted: “Supposedly India’s ‘LEADING’ newspaper and this is ‘NEWS’!!??”.

Apparently, the pic that features her in a white anarkali isn’t particularly revealing. The video,filmed from the top, seems focussed on her chest as her face is rarely in focus. TOI apparently took the footage from a YouTube channel that contains sleazy videos of actress’ bodies.

The usually-calm-and-composed Padukone’s anger was quite apparent in her barrage of tweets that she posted on Sunday afternoon. “Dont talk about Woman’s Empowerment when YOU don’t know how to RESPECT Women!,” she tweeted.

Soon after, fellow actresses like Alia Bhatt and Illeana D’Cruz, and the stylist of the featured outfit, Anaita Shroff Adjania, started speaking on her behalf on Twitter. Some retweeted her tweets while others expressed their disgust.

Rajdeep Sardesai tweetd: “Star of the day: @deepikapadukone For giving it back as good as it gets.”

Actor Ranvir Shorey tweeted: “Respect, @deepikapadukone, for taking on this bulls***. More power to you.”

Homi Adjania, director of Padukone’s latest film, Finding Fanny, tweeted: “we just slam ourselves back into the dark ages! Reputed channels inciting regressive s***. What are they thinking?! Sad!”
