Rashmika Genuinely Disturbed; Loan Apps Harass Women With Morphed Porn Pics: Chinmayi's Big Claim
Singer Chinmayi Sripaada has shown solidarity with Rashmika Mandanna after the actress' deep fake video went viral on social media.

Rashmika Mandanna Deepfake Video Controversy: Singer Chinmayi Sripaada has come out in strong support of Rashmika Mandanna after a shocking deepfake video of the actress went viral on the internet. Chinmayi also raised concerns about how deep fake videos could be “the next weapon they use to target and harass girls to extort, blackmail and rape.”

In a lengthy note on her official X account, Chinmayi recalled, “Several months ago, a video of one of our most favourite actors in an AI avatar performed to Kaavaalaa from Jailer released – only it wasn’t her. It was a Deep Fake. Nobody knows for sure whether Ms Simran had consented in advance to her likeness to be used in the Deep Fake AI rendering of Kaavaalaa. She shared it on her social media pages as well.”

She continued, “Now a Deep fake Rashmika video surfaces and I just saw her Instagram story where she genuinely looks disturbed – In a country where women’s bodies are exploited everyday, Deep Fake is going to be the next weapon they use to target and harass and blackmail girls to extort, blackmail and rape.”

Chinmayi further called for a nationwide awareness campaign about the dangers of deepfakes in the wake of Rashmika Mandanna episode and alleged that “loan apps harass women borrowers with photoshopped images of their faces over porn photos and they can’t deal with that. But a Deep Fake is going to be tougher for the usual untrained eye to spot. Everyone doesn’t have high-res displays.”

Reacting to her note, Rashmika wrote on X, “Thank you @Chinmayi for creating awareness on this, hoping strict action is taken and regulated guidelines are put into place.”

Amitabh Bachchan, who has worked with Rashmika in Goodbye, also urged for a legal action to be taken against such identity theft. “Yes this is a strong case for legal,” he wrote.

Rashmika had penned a note on Monday in which she said how hurt she was over the viral deepfake video. “But if this happened to me when I was in school or college, I genuinely can’t imagine how could I ever tackle this,” she had written in the note while calling for a strict action.

What's your reaction?
