Deepika Padukone and her Pathaan co-star Shah Rukh Khan had to face immense criticism for the film’s song Besharam Rang launched this week. Amidst this controversy, the Cocktail actress has left for Qatar for the finals of the FIFA World Cup 2022, where she will be unveiling the FIFA World Cup Trophy.

The paparazzi followed Deepika as she walked towards the gate, and one of the photographers complimented her for Besharam Rang. She smiled graciously and thanked him.

Dekhiye FIFA World Cup Final mere saath  LIVE on Jio Cinema and Sports 18.”
