Did Deepika Padukone delete an Instagram story backing Sonam Wangchuk amid hunger strike

A viral screenshot falsely claims Deepika Padukone supported Sonam Wangchuk's hunger strike. Verification shows no evidence of the actor posting or deleting such a story. The alleged Instagram post appears to be digitally manipulated and is unsubstantiated. Sonam Wangchuk continues his hunger strike at Jantar Mantar for examination reforms. Several film personalities have publicly expressed solidarity with the activist's ongoing protest.
