From time to time, several celebrities, most female actors such as Aishwarya Rai, Alia Bhatt, Rashmika Mandanna and more have caught netizens’ attention with their deepfake videos.

Among them is Bollywood actor Aishwarya Rai, who became the latest to fall prey after rogue websites misused her name and image, prompting her to seek legal protection.

Mandanna wrote on social media, she really feels hurt to share this and have to talk about the deepfake video of her being spread online. Something like this is, honestly, extremely scary not only for her but also for each one of them who today is vulnerable to so much harm because of how technology is being misused.”

Priyanka Chopra’s deepfake video was spotted earlier, endorsing a brand. She was allegedly seen talking about her annual income in another fake video. While her face was unaltered in the videos, the audio was tweaked with a fake brand advertisement.
Brief on deepfake video?
A deepfake video is a form of manipulated content created using artificial intelligence (AI), where a person’s face or voice is digitally superimposed onto existing visuals or audio to mimic their likeness. When crafted skillfully, these videos can appear highly realistic, making it seem as though the individual being targeted has said or done things that never actually happened. In recent years, the entertainment industry—especially female actors—has become one of the most frequent targets of such digital exploitation.
