Tamil actress Shruthi Narayanan rose to fame with her role in Siragadikka Aasai, a Tamil television serial, starring Vetri Vasanth and Gomathi Priya as the leads. Enjoying a decent fan following online, she recently reacted to the controversy surrounding an alleged casting couch sex video, which is being heavily circulated on all social media platforms. She recently took to her official handle to comment on the same and request people, who are sharing it, to have empathy towards the situation.
Narayanan has also slammed the people for spreading the content widely and making insensitive remarks about it. She posted an emotional note on her Instagram story, earlier in the day. Quoted by the Free Press Journal, she wrote, “For you guys, spreading all these contents on me it’s just a joke and fun content. But for me and my close ones, this is a very hard situation for us. Especially for me, it is a very difficult time, and it’s a difficult situation to handle. I’m also a girl, and I also have feelings, and my close ones also have feelings, and you guys just make it worse and worse.”

She urged the netizens to stop sharing the videos like “wildfire,” and added if they still do insist on watching such videos, they should “go see them for your mother or sister or girlfriend, because they are also girls and they also have the same bodies like me, so go and enjoy their videos.”
In another Instagram story, she slammed people for tarnishing her reputation and questioning her about the videos, rather than the ones who have leaked it and are circulating it. She went on to add that deepfake videos in India are a criminal offence. Sharing the provisions under which legal actions can be taken, against those who are spreading the videos, she boldly told them to “START being human.” She stated, “This isn’t just a video, it’s someone’s mental health, and life.”
