After appearing in the 'My Choice' video, Deepika Padukone has been forced to face a lot of flak with many taking to social media to flay the post. Bharatiya Janata Party's veteran leader Murli Manohar Joshi also criticised the video saying, "We don't realise how much we have changed. It has been an Indian tradition of addressing woman as 'mother', but now there are objections at being called a mother. When god wanted to be everywhere, he created mother. But now that has become an old concept. Now I have a choice. Now you see we have a choice (video). Now you are a body, a commodity. This is the height of lack of consciousness."

Joshi added that people have lost their consciousness and identity by blindly aping the West. "While foreigners keep marvelling about India's rich culture, and traditional ways that were far more scientific, we continue to follow the West and shun our own traditions and cultures. We have lost our consciousness, our identity," he said.
