Rashmika Mandanna’s deepfake video went viral on social media a few days ago. Rashmika’s face was superimposed on the body of British-Indian Instagram influencer Zara Patel in the previously viral video.
Rashmika has posted a lengthy statement on social media expressing her severe disapproval of the widely circulated deepfake video of her: “I feel really hurt to share this and have to talk about the deepfake video of me being spread online. Something like this is honestly extremely scary, not only for me, but also for each one of us who today is vulnerable to so much harm because of how technology is being misused.”
“Today, as a woman and as an actor, I am thankful for my family, friends and well wishers who are my protection and support system. But if this happened to me when I was in school or college, I genuinely can’t imagine how could I ever tackle this. We need to address this as a community and with urgency before more of us are affected by such identity theft,” she further added.

Govt’s official advisory
Social media companies received an advise from the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeiTY) outlining the laws that control deepfakes and the possible repercussions of producing and sharing them.
The government advise cited Section 66D of the Information Technology Act of 2000 and said, “Whoever, by means of any communication device or computer resource cheats by personating, shall be punished with imprisonment of either description for a term which may extend to three years and shall also be liable to fine which may extend to one lakh rupees.” For the unversed, Section 66D relates to ‘punishment for cheating by personation by using computer resource’.
