After Rashmika Mandanna, Katrina Kaif, and Kajol, a deepfake video circulating on social media swaps Alia Bhatt's face with another woman. In it, the woman is seen making some gestures on camera.
Alia hasn't commented on the matter yet.
RASHMIKA DEEEPFAKE CONTROVERSY
Earlier, Rashmika Mandanna opened up about her deepfake video that had gone viral. She wrote on X (formerly Twitter), ‘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.’
The actor continued, ‘Today, as a woman and as an actor, I am thankful for my family, friends and well wishers who are my protection and support system. But if this happened to me when I was in school or college, I genuinely can’t imagine how could I ever tackle this. We need to address this as a community and with urgency before more of us are affected by such identity theft.’ Rashmika tagged the official X accounts of Cyberabad Police and Maharashtra Cyber, nodal agency for cyber security and cybercrime investigation for Maharashtra, in her tweet.
Reacting to another tweet about the same video, Amitabh Bachchan said, ‘Yes, this is a strong case for legal.’
