Janhvi Kapoor shared that she initially tried to convince herself that such situations were an unfortunate part of being visible online. Over time, however, she found it difficult to ignore the issue, especially as technology has made it easier to create highly realistic fake images
Bollywood actress Janhvi Kapoor recently opened up about a disturbing experience from her teenage years, revealing that she once found a morphed image of herself circulating on pornographic websites when she was just 15 years old. The actor said the incident left a lasting impact and that the problem has only worsened today with the rise of AI-generated deepfakes.
Speaking during a conversation with entrepreneur and podcast host Raj Shamani, Janhvi recalled how she first came across the manipulated image during her school days. She said, "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."
The actor, who was still a student at the time, explained that she discovered the image while attending an IT class in school.
"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 said.
