Jhanvi Kapoor condemns AI-generated explicit viral video, calls for respect and consent

Bollywood actress Jhanvi Kapoor has spoken out against an AI-generated video featuring her in an explicit manner. This video, which stemmed from the song Chuttamalle from the film Devara: Part 1, went viral and sparked outrage. Kapoor condemned the "deeply violating" misuse of technology to objectify women without consent, stating that it borders on sexual assault.

She emphasized that consent is a fundamental human right, not a debatable issue, and that women's boundaries must be respected. Kapoor highlighted that consent can vary at different times in a person's life, and that a "no" must always be respected. She stressed that a woman's body, choices, and comfort are entirely her own decisions.

Kapoor also called for a societal change in how women are perceived, noting that the responsibility lies not just in protecting one's daughter, but in challenging the conditioning that allows violations to occur. She appreciated the strong stance taken by Devara co-star Jr NTR and thanked other celebrities like Chiranjeevi, Vijay, and Khushbu Sundar for their support.

Kapoor concluded by urging everyone to reflect on the issue, emphasizing that every woman deserves to be treated as a human being.
