On the poster of
Padmavati, Deepika Padukone is seen wearing ethnic attire, accessorised with heavy jewellery. Her unibrow is the most striking feature on the poster and also the most talked about on Twitter. "I don't know how I feel about Deepika Padukone's unibrow in
Padmavati though," read a tweet while another said, "The unibrow on Padmavati aka Deepika looks horrid. Why they do this? She looks dazzling otherwise."
