The tabloid was criticised for failing to recognize Deepika, who is making headlines courtesy her role in the new Vin Diesel film, titled xXx: The Return of Xander Cage. But, after a series of angry tweets from Deepika's fan tabloid updated their article and also added a short description of Deepika's rise in Bollywood.

Meanwhile, some Twitter users said that it's not a big deal!
 

So the Daily Mail doesn't know who Deepika Padukone is. Can our Indian media claim that they know all the British actors? #DeepikaPadukone

But here's what they still failed to mention - Deepika's Djokovic connection.

Deepika played an exhibition tennis doubles match with him, Roger Federer and Aamir Khan in 2014's International Premier Tennis League tournament.
