A few weeks back Rashmika Mandanna’s distressing encounter with a deepfake video went viral. Now, Bollywood icon Kajol finds herself ensnared in a parallel narrative of digital deception. A recent video, currently making rounds on the internet, portrays a woman, her face digitally transposed with Kajol’s changing clothes on camera. This incident illuminates the persistent threat posed by deepfake technology and its potential for misleading and damaging consequences.
Days after the Rashmika Mandanna fiasco, a new video has surfaced. Initially tricking netizens into believing it featured Kajol in an uncharacteristic situation. The video, manipulated with artificial intelligence, prompted widespread condemnation, leading to urgent calls for halting its dissemination.
Upon investigation, it was discovered that the original video belonged to Rosie Breen. She is a respected fashion influencer known for promoting body positivity. However, in the manipulated version, miscreants replaced Breen’s face with Kajol’s, creating a false narrative of the actress showcasing wardrobe changes and curves.
Netizens demand strict action
Outraged by the deceitful video, netizens took swift action, reporting it on various social media platforms and urging others to refrain from sharing it further. This incident reignites concerns about the ethical implications of deepfake technology, emphasizing the necessity for robust measures to combat its malicious applications.
