None of that really matters, Deepika has always gotten strong reactions. And her tooting her own horn has traditionally helped her.
Her problem is that she wasted a lot of her years doing nothing and now everyone has largely moved on to Alia and company. She probably wanted a break after those 3 years of non-stop films, so it is understandable. But now that the success bandwagon has moved on to others, it looks like people disproportionately hate her, but I don't think it is any different from earlier.
I think she took the success of Padmavat way too seriously and increased her pay rate and kept turning down films that didn't match up to being the big titular character. There was never going to be any perfect script and it was a pointless waste of time.
Her choices since then have been silly. Chhapak was such a bad/boring movie. Apart from her getting to be the star, there was nothing in it. Why do a cameo in 83? Nobody is interested in seeing her and Ranveer together all the time. Doesn't she have a cameo in Cirkus too? Very unnecessary.
