Janhvi Kapoor has spoken out — finally, on the AI-generated video that surfaced this week, digitally reimagining her in a scene from Devara: Part 1’s Chuttamalle sequence. The clip, which circulated widely on social media, prompted swift backlash across the industry. Jr NTR, Chiranjeevi, Vijay Deverakonda, and Khushbu Sundar all condemned the misuse of deepfake technology, calling it a violation of personal dignity and a threat to women’s safety. Now, Janhvi herself has responded. In a statement posted Thursday morning, she called the incident ‘deeply violating, bordering on sexual assault.’ She didn’t mince words: using AI to manipulate a woman’s image without consent is not just unethical. It’s an attack on autonomy. 'Even if a woman says yes five days in a row and no on the sixth, that no must be respected,' she wrote. Her message was clear: her body. Her image. Her boundaries. Her choice. She thanked Jr NTR for his public stance, and acknowledged the support from other stars who’ve spoken up. This isn’t just about one video. It’s about a pattern, the relentless digital objectification of women, amplified by tech that doesn’t care about consent. And while the outrage is loud, the legal framework around such content remains murky. What happens next? That’s the real question.
