Popular actress and ‘National Crush’ Rashmika Mandanna is making headlines, but this time it’s not for her upcoming blockbusters or personal life milestones. The actress has voiced her extreme disappointment and anger over a viral video that has been circulating on social media platforms. Taking a stern stand, Rashmika declared, “I will not remain silent anymore,” and has threatened to take strict legal action against those responsible.

The controversy erupted when a morphed video of the actress, created using Deepfake technology, went viral. The video shows Rashmika in a compromising situation, but fact-checkers quickly revealed that the video was digitally altered to impose her face onto another woman’s body. Disturbed by the incident, Rashmika shared a heartfelt post expressing her concerns about the misuse of Artificial Intelligence. She stated, “It is deeply hurting to see my identity being misused. Today it’s me, tomorrow it could be anyone else.”

Rashmika emphasized that as a public figure, she feels a responsibility to speak up against cybercrime. She has urged the cyber cell to track down the creators of the video and ensure they face the consequences. Her courageous response has garnered massive support from fans and the film industry alike, sparking a nationwide debate on digital privacy and the urgent need for stricter AI regulations.
