The deepfake video controversy began with Rashmika Mandana, an actress from the South. Priyanka Chopra, Katrina Kaif, Alia Bhatt, Kajol, and Sara Tendulkar’s videos followed suit. Many famous women all over the globe have fallen prey to deepfakes recently. At least this time, the government of India will do nothing about deepfakes. This venture will have Rashmika Mandana on board.
The debut deepfake video featuring an Indian actress was Rashmika Mandana. Following the cybercrime, the actress’ pornographic video gained immense popularity online. Rashmika was quite upset about this. Rajinikanth, Kareena Kapoor, and Amitabh Bachchan were among the celebrities he managed to attract.
Rashmika now has additional duties to attend to. She plans to lobby for legislation that will make cybercrime illegal nationwide. The federal government selected this southern actress, known for her roles in “Animal” and “Pushpa,” to represent cyber security.
In 2017, Reddit, the same platform that previously trashed Scarlett Johansson, Gal Godot, and Taylor Swift, first shared this deepfake technology. Since then, this flaw has spread globally.
