In an interview with Hindustan Times, Mona termed the act as shameful and added: “Someone has gone to the extent of morphing one person's face onto another person's body. If this can happen to me, it can happen to any innocent girl. I'm glad I'm a celebrity and can talk to the media. Only the media can help me get out of this.”

Radhika Apte

Radhika Apte faced a lot of trolling after a nude video of her went viral on the internet. Although it was an excerpt from her film Parched, Radhika clarified that the scene is not about her. While addressing the issue, she told Grazia, “I really needed a role like this because when you're in Bollywood, you're constantly told what to do with your body and I've always maintained that I want my body or would never do anything to my face.” . When a nude clip of me leaked while I was filming Clean Shaven, I was heavily trolled and that actually touched me.” Talking about the impact of the incident, Radhika said that she couldn't leave the house for four days . “Not because of what the media said, but because my driver, my security guard and my stylist's driver recognized me in the pictures,” she revealed. Radhika couldn't do anything but ignore it.

Shahid Kapoor

As a 24-year-old boy, Shahid Kapoor also fell victim to a video leak when an intimate clip of him kissing his then-girlfriend Kareena Kapoor Khan circulated online. Although neither of them ever spoke about it, Shahid decided to make his first comment in 2023. Speaking to Mid-Day, he said: “I felt like my privacy was being violated and I couldn't do anything to protect (myself). . So I was completely confused and asked myself: “What happened, what is going on?” Of course it affects you a lot and especially at this age. You don't even know your own feelings and you think about how to deal with a girl and go out with her. They’re both actors, in different places, and then something like this happens.”

Riya Sen

Actress Riya Sen was trying to make it big in the Hindi film industry when a private video of her and her boyfriend Ashmit Patel was leaked online, ending her career. Riya addressed the controversy and accused Ashmit of violating her privacy. “I know Ashmit is not trustworthy. I accuse him of violating my privacy and causing mental anguish. Every artist has a right to their privacy and they should protect it at all costs. But Ashmit conspired with some of the crew members of Rokda (her upcoming film) and did something that was unexpected for him,” she told Hindustan Times.

Akshara Singh

Bhojpuri actor Akshara Singh was thrown into turmoil after an intimate video purportedly showing her surfaced online. However, the actor called it “transformed.” “Whoever committed such an act, I don’t care about all these things. Someone made a statement. Even I haven't seen the MMS video yet. Do you want to know if I'm in this viral video? I will not cry over such a cheap act and it doesn’t bother me,” she told Etimes.
