fell prey to an online crime when a

Taking to the micro-blogging site, Amitabh Bachchan tweeted one of the posts in support of Rashmika. While sharing the tweet he wrote - “yes this is a strong case for legal”

Commenting on Big B’s tweet, one of the netizens wrote - “The use of deepfake technology to create inappropriate videos is deeply concerning and is a violation of privacy and consent. Legal action should definitely be taken in such cases. The individuals responsible for creating and distributing these videos should be held accountable under the law. Cyber laws often cover such acts of digital impersonation and misuse of images, and engaging with legal authorities is a necessary step to ensure that the rights of the affected individuals are protected and justice is served.”
