Her post was in reference to speculation about her citizenship since she was born in Copenhagen, Denmark.
In a video online, Deepika is also seen fielding a question on her citizenship at a press event.
She said: "I hold an Indian passport... from where do you get this information anyway."
When she was cross-questioned about having been born in Denmark, Deepika said: "But I still have an Indian passport. There's a lot of complication and I am very much an Indian, a proud Indian citizen."
For casting her vote on Monday, Deepika chose a casual look in a pair of jeans and a loose shirt.
