I am with Deepika Padukone - #MyChoice
Congratulations Deepika! You have made a choice in "" target="_blank">My Choice", by acting in the short film (for a fee of course), and your choice of having this video out just before your film 'Piku' releases - "Your Choice". Wonderful.

The 3 big subjects of virality, which I believe are -

1. Feminism and male bashing - viral, advocate for more sex - more viral, show a gorgeous girl releasing the bra strap - most viral.

2. Modi bashing - viral, Indian government bashing - more viral, India bashing - most viral.

3. Fighting the censor board - viral, fighting the government ban - more viral, fighting the Indian culture - most viral.

And, here is my choice of pulling some statistics on the video on how people reacted on social media using our social media monitoring platform -Simplify360.

Some statistics (at the time I wrote this article) -

  • Total Social Media mentions : 63k (35% - negative opinion, 23% - Positive, 42% Neutral)
  • Sources : 77% Twitter, 9% Facebook, 5% Tumblr, 4% Youtube and Google Plus, 5% Others (News, Blogs, Forums etc)
  • Gender of authors : 78% Male, 22% Female
  • Geo of authors : 62% India, 13% US, 9% Canada, 3.5% UK and Mexico each, 9% Others

Also, here are some facts of my choices.
