Telugu actress Nivetha Thomas has fallen victim to the deep-fake images after Sreeleela and YouTuber Payal Gaming. She penned a note on X, condemning the misuse of her identity and asked people not to reshare or engage with such material.
Nivetha Thomas wrote on X, "It has come to my attention that AI-generated images misusing my identity and a recent photograph I shared on my social media are being circulated online. The creation and circulation of such content without consent is deeply disturbing, unacceptable, and unlawful. It constitutes digital impersonation and a serious invasion of my privacy."

"I am putting this on record. Those responsible, including accounts operating behind anonymity, are directed to immediately stop and take down such content. I urge others to recognise the harm in enabling this behaviour. Do not reshare, engage with, or legitimise such material in any form. Any continued circulation will be treated as deliberate misuse of my identity and escalated legally," she added.

Before Nivetha, Sreeleela also expressed her concern over the misuse of AI and called out those abusing technology. She wrote, “I put my hands together and request every social media user not to support AI-generated nonsense. There is a difference between using and abusing technology. Advancements in technology are meant to simplify life, not complicate it, in my opinion.”
Meanwhile, Payal Dhare has also decided to take ‘appropriate legal action’ against the fake video and the misuse of her name and likeness. She has over four million subscribers on YouTube and also more than four million followers on Instagram.
