Karan K had made a beautiful rangoli of Padmavati on the eve of Diwali in Surat. Unfortunately, a group of 100 people destroyed it without realizing the efforts that went into it. Well, the creator took around 48 hours but destroyers took just few minutes to ruin it.
This was the rangoli that he had designed;
Since the time the movie has been announced, there have been constant attacks on it. Earlier, members of Karni Sena had assaulted the director for portraying love story between queen Padmavati and Allaudin Khilji.
Now, a group of 100 people have destroyed the rangoli by shouting “Jay Shree Ram” and this vandalism attack is very saddening. Karan took to Twitter to share the before and after images of the rangoli. Check it out…

After seeing all this, Deepika Padukone lost her cool. Yes, she finally spoke about the issues that have been happening and also asked Smriti Irani to take strict action against those who were involved in such a dirty act.
