Pictures of badminton legend Prakash Padukone with daughter and actor Deepika Padukone at the cricket World Cup final yesterday sparked an intense debate on social media. It's a sad day when Prakash Padukone has to be introduced as merely “Deepika Padukone's father”. https://t.co/eX5oAuDkEY I don't understand this fuss! I am sure Prakash Padukone is immensely proud of his daughter and this introduction! https://t.co/VVn2Wgrt1Y
Several badminton fans flagged posts referring to Mr Padukone as "Deepika Padukone's father", pointing out that he is a legend in his own right. Others disagreed and said Mr Padukone would be proud to be referred to as Deepika's father.
Mr Padukone accompanied daughter Deepika and son-in-law, actor Ranveer Singh, to Narendra Modi stadium in Ahmedabad for the India vs Australia World Cup final yesterday. Team India lost the match by six wickets, its only World Cup defeat after 10 wins in a row.
