Gal Gadot had discredited the Shaheen Bagh dadi as an '82-year-old activist fighting for women’s equality in India’ in her post and was mocked by netizens for being this ignorant about what she actually does. As soon as she realised her mistake, the actress removed the Instagram story. However, she still remains a part of Gal Gadot's post that talks about strong women.
Sharing a series of pictures of the strong women in her life, Gal captioned the images as, "Saying farewell to 2020, with all my love to #MyPersonalWonderWomen. Some are those closest to me - my family, my friends - some are inspiring women I’ve loved discovering, and some are exceptional women I hope to meet in the future. Together, we can do wonders! Share your own wonder women with me.”
Twitter was trending as netizens posted about Gal Gadot's Insta story. A user went on to tag her in their post and wrote, "Gal Gadot, this 82-years-old Bilkis Dadi isn't fighting for women rights, she is a funded protester who supports every anti-government activities.
