Did Deepika Padukone’s PR circulate the Cannes misidentification story about Sonam Kapoor?

Deepika Padukone made her much talked about debut at Cannes this year. Sonam Kapoor was in for the seventh time this year, so he’s a pro at it already.

Never before has Sonam been mistaken for anybody else. But this year, suddenly when DP made her debut red carpet appearance, a photo agency mistook Sonam as Deepika. Although it was just 1 out of the 10000 images that did the rounds, media soon picked it up and ran a story.

Previously, Deepika had been mistaken to be Priyanka Chopra by foreign scribes. That didn’t go down well with DP who had slammed the journos and even claimed that they were being indifferent and racist at the same time.

Now, when Sonam was mistaken to be Deepika, there has been speculations that DP’s PR team fed the news to the media. Sonam, too indirectly hinted at it subtly in few of her posts on Twitter following the incident. So is it true? Did Deepika’s PR team circulate this news, just to prove a point? Your guess is as good as ours!
