Actor Mrunal Thakur has responded to a social media user who edited her into his Diwali post. In the edited image, the man is seen lighting a firecracker with Mrunal beside him, his arm wrapped around the Hi Nanna star.
The person shared the photo on Instagram, captioning it, “Diwali Photo Editing. Bollywood Actress Photoshoot… (sic).”
Mrunal expressed her disapproval in the comments, stating, “Bhai kyu jhooti tassali de rahe hain aap apne aap ko? Aapko lagta hain ki aap yeh Jo kar rahe hain yeh cool hain? Ji nahi!” (Why are you giving yourself false reassurance? Do you really think that what you’re doing is cool? No, it’s not!)

In response to Rashmika Mandanna’s deepfake video, she wrote on Instagram, “Shame on people who resort to such things; it shows that there is no conscience left at all in such people. Thank you, @rashmika_mandanna, for speaking up and addressing this issue that many of us have chosen to remain silent about. Every day, morphed, edited videos of female actors zoom into inappropriate body parts. Where are we heading as a community, as a society? We may be actresses in the ‘limelight,’ but at the end of the day, each one of us is human. Why aren’t we talking about it? Don’t remain silent; now is not the time (sic).”
