Speaking about the growing menace at the ‘Animal‘ event in Hyderabad, the actress said, “I always wondered who would even care if I chose to speak up and point out that it isn’t okay. I’m glad people from across the film industries have supported me. I understand now how important it is to speak up. I want to urge women to take the help they need when it happens.”

On X, when the video was leaked, she wrote- “I feel really hurt to share this and have to talk about the deepfake video of me being spread online. Something like this is honestly, extremely scary not only for me, but also for each one of us who today is vulnerable to so much harm because of how technology is being misused.”
