We can imagine what it must be like to handle a followership of 19 Million where fans can love you one day and diss you the next day. From body-shaming to hate comments, here are some of the major moments when Deepika Padukone fell prey to cyber-bullying.

Bollywood celebs and fans came to her support when one India's leading dailies presented her cleavage and tried to pass it off as "news".
