Taking to her official X handle, the Geetha Govindham actress wrote, “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. 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.”
I feel really hurt to share this and have to talk about the deepfake video of me being spread online.
