The woman from
rashmika Mandanna's original deepfake video responded to the altered film one day after it became viral. For those who don't know, Zara
patel is the woman in the original video. She's an influencer from Britain. On
october 9, the original video was released. Later,
rashmika Mandanna's face was added. In response to the deepfake video, Zara expressed her displeasure with the current state of affairs and warned
people to be sceptical of everything they come across online.
“Hi all, it has come to my attention that someone created a deepfake video using my body and a popular
bollywood actress’s face. I had no involvement with the deepfake video and I’m deeply disturbed and upset by what is happening. I worry about the future of
women and girls who now have to fear even more about putting themselves on social media. Please take a step back and fact-check what you see on the internet. Not everything on the internet is real,” she wrote on her
instagram Stories.
Amitabh Bachchan called attention to the deepfake video on
monday and called for legal action to be taken against it.
rashmika issued a statement about the same. “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. 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,” she said.
