Basically, a video popped up online, supposedly showing Rashmika – you know, the Bollywood actress – entering an elevator. The thing is, it looked…off. Like, *really* off. At first glance, you might think, “Okay, whatever, just another celebrity getting snapped.” But then you look closer, and something just doesn’t quite compute. I gotta say, even I almost fell for it, and I usually think I’m pretty savvy about this kinda stuff.
Turns out, it *was* a deepfake. Someone used AI to superimpose her face onto someone else’s body. And the video went viral, racking up, like, MILLIONS of views. Amitabh Bachchan, like, the LEGENDARY Amitabh Bachchan even shared it! He probably thought it was real at first, highlighting the… uh… the “deepfake” part of it. That’s how convincing (and scary) this stuff is getting.
Now, I saw some articles saying the video showed her in a bikini, which, honestly? That’s just adding fuel to the fire. Doesn’t matter *what* the person was wearing in the original video – the point is someone used AI to manipulate it and spread it online. That’s messed up on SO many levels.
The whole thing got so huge that the Delhi Police actually arrested some techie from Andhra Pradesh. Like, seriously, an arrest for a deepfake? It shows how seriously the authorities are taking this, and honestly, they SHOULD be.
You can probably still find the video floating around online if you, y’know, *really* wanted to. But honestly? I wouldn’t recommend it. Why give the people who made it the satisfaction? Plus, watching it just feels…icky. It’s like contributing to something that’s fundamentally wrong.
And you know what bugs me the MOST? It’s not just about Rashmika Mandanna. It’s about the potential for this to happen to *anyone*. Imagine being the target of something like this. It’s a violation, plain and simple. It’s like someone stealing your face and using it for whatever nefarious purpose they want.
