Deeika also seemed to be hit hard by one of the iconic lines and shared the quote in her next post, the dialogue delivered by the protagonist  T'Challa aka Black Panther.

“Wakanda will no longer watch from the shadows. We can not. We must not.

We will work to be an example of how we, as brothers and sisters on this earth, should treat each other. Now, more than ever, the illusions of division threaten our very existence. We all know the truth: more connects us than separates us.

But in times of crisis the wise build bridges, while the foolish build barriers. We must find a way to look after one another, as if we were one single tribe."

Previously, Deepika had similarly recommended movies, that were nominated at the Oscars. A few days ago, she seemed to have gone on a binge watch, and recommended  2017 Phantom Thread and 2013 film Her on the same day.  From 1993 film Age of Innocence to this year’s Oscar nomination Jojo Rabit, there were interesting recommendations for her fans to watch.

Meanwhile, Deepika and husband Ranveer Singh lent their support to the relief efforts due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The duo have pledged to contribute to PM-CARES fund. On the professional front, their film ‘83, slated for release in April, might be one of the first to release after the lockdown ends.
