Deepika Padukone has wreaked havoc ever since she visited the Jawaharlal Nehru University on January 7, 2020, almost two days before the release of Chhapaak. 

She was in the city's capital ahead of the release for promotions and during her schedule, she made a visit towards the campus, expressing her solidarity against mobbed attackers who vandalized the property Sunday night on January 5.

While social media was left divided on the matter, reports have surfaced, which claim that Deepika's promotional video for the Ministry of Skill Development has been dropped. 

A statement was issued by the Ministry, regarding the issue which read, "As part of regular process under communication and promotional activity for Skill India, the team keeps getting ideas from media houses and organisations to cross promote each other. The production team had approached Skill India for promoting the subject of the film."

It added, "In lieu of the same, the actors from the movie had met some acid attack survivors and specially-abled candidates from our ecosystem which are also Skill India beneficiaries inspiring them to do better in life. However, there is no formal engagement with the related party. Ministry does not assign any such stuff it is National Skill Development Authority they are the ones who take the final call."
