The ongoing misuse of AI to create deep-fake images and videos has been concerning, and actress Sreeleela has unfortunately become a victim of that as well. Amid the controversy around YouTuber Payal Gaming, whose alleged deepfake video has surfaced on social media, Sreeleela penned a powerful note on Instagram and X as she called out the misuse of AI.
Sreeleela 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."

"Every girl out there is a daughter, granddaughter, sister, friend, or colleague, even if she chooses art as one of her professions. We wish to be part of an industry that spreads joy, with the confidence that we are in a protected environment. I have been unaware of many things happening online due to my schedule, and I thank my well-wishers for bringing this to my notice. I have always taken things with a pinch of salt and lived in my own world, but this is deeply disturbing and devastating. I also see my fellow colleagues going through the same, and am reaching out on behalf of everyone. With grace and dignity, and with trust in my audience, I ask you to please stand by us. The authorities will be taking it over from here," she added.
