Janhvi Kapoor's Shocking Revelation About Her Morphed Photos

During a conversation with Raj Shamani, Janhvi shared an instance where she found her morphed photos during an IT class, mentioning, "I don't know if it was a deepfake, but it was something like that. I saw a picture of me on a porn site," she said. "We had IT class in school, and boys used to go on those sites for fun. My pictures were on there. And this was in school. So that was a weird experience."

She further explained that "At some point, I was like - this is the cost you have to pay. There is no morality in a lot of these things with social media. I am not at peace with it," she revealed. "There are visuals of me out there, even shared by official news pages, which are completely AI. I have never worn those clothes or been photographed like that."

Janhvi admitted during the conversation that, “I am not at peace with it. There are visuals of me out there, even shared by official news pages, which are completely AI. I have never worn those clothes or been photographed like that. It gets circulated as if it's something I've put out. That creates a certain kind of impression. If tomorrow I tell a director I'm not comfortable wearing something, someone can pull up those pictures and say, ‘But you've done this before.' Even if they don't say it, it makes you think."

She reveals that, ''It upsets me, of course, I feel like I don't have that much of a voice to complain. There's this attitude, you've got so much in life, thoda seh lo, don't complain. So I don't think my voice has that credibility yet. There will be backlash, and it might take away from the cause."
