If I don't understand politics I would stay away from making political statements - Deepika Padukone

Deepika Padukone in a recent interview made this comment which probably was a dig at Katrina kaif - If I don't understand politics I would stay away from making political statements And I think people should not be casual on these subjects".


On being quizzed about Kat's comment, she said, "We should not speak on political matters without having a proper understanding of it. Reservation is a touchy topic and a complex one at that. I can't make off-the-cuff, casual remarks on issues of grave political and social importance."

Katrina recently recived a lot of flak for her recent comment on Rahul Gandhi.
In a recent newspaper interview Katrina Kaif made a statement that Rahul Gandhi is half-Indian and half-Italian just like she is Half British and Half Indian.

Here is her exact comment -

"Please understand that I am not – I assure you, I promise you – I am not the only half Asian half British person alive on this planet! My passport's copies are with every news channel in this country – don't ask me how they got them. Everyone has my name, which is my mother's name, on the passport. It's never been hidden, that, or my date of birth, or where I was born – I was born in Hong Kong, for all those who've missed that part of the breaking news – and I just find it so funny. Am I supposed to be ashamed that I am half Asian, half European? I mean, no! Rahul Gandhi is half Indian, half Italian. So? I am very proud of what I am and I just don't understand the confusion – as if I'm trying to hide the fact that my mother's British. Why would I?"

Congress did not like the comment made about Rahul Gandhi and they retaliated.

"Who is she? I do not know. Tomorrow, you will ask for our reaction on the statement of Johny Lever . To what level you want to bring down the level of the political discourse in the country?" party spokesperson Manish Tewari said when asked for his comments on Katrina's remarks
