# Janhvi Kapoor calls deepfake AI video ‘sexual harassment’ 2026-10-04T18:31:34+00:00 | Entertainment | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 2 independent outlets Actress Janhvi Kapoor has broken her silence on the sexually explicit AI-generated deepfake video of her and actor Jr NTR from the film 'Devara: Part 1', calling the misuse of technology 'sexual harassment'. In a detailed Instagram statement on Sunday, 4 October, she said using AI to create false content of a woman without her consent is deeply disrespectful and equivalent to harassment. Kapoor also criticised paparazzi for shooting women from degrading camera angles, stating that a woman's clothing does not give anyone permission to harass her. She thanked Jr NTR, Chiranjeevi, Vijay Deverakonda, and Khushbu for condemning the act. Jr NTR had earlier warned of legal action against those creating and sharing the deepfake, urging strict government regulations on AI misuse. ## Indian Opinion Analysis Both tv9hindi.com and aajtak.in present the story as straight news, quoting Kapoor's statement and naming the actors who supported her. Neither outlet adds commentary or takes sides, making this uniform neutral coverage. The key difference is length: tv9hindi.com publishes Kapoor's full statement, including her line about women in her industry facing similar harassment, while aajtak.in summarises it more tightly. The absence of critical or pro-government framing is expected for an entertainment story. Kapoor's call for social change and Jr NTR's demand for government action on AI misuse remain the concrete next steps mentioned by both sources. ## Coverage Coverage: 2 sources, 2 neutral - tv9hindi.com (neutral report) Straight news quoting Kapoor's full statement - aajtak.in (neutral report) Straight news summarising Kapoor's statement This brief was synthesised by AI from the 2 sources linked above, so one read covers every framing they carry.
