A wave of inappropriate private films of teenage influencers has been posted online in recent weeks, with Payal Dhare, alias Payal Gaming, becoming the latest victim of the infamous ’19-minute viral video’ incident. However, before Payal Gaming, Dustu Sonali, and Sweet Zannat, Anjali Arora of ‘Kacha Badam’ fame went through years of trauma after her morphed MMS footage was widely shared on internet.
Did Anjali Arora date a Russian man for money?
Notably, while Anjali Arora’s explicit MMS has been revealed to be a modified clip, the young influencer was embroiled in another issue when rumours spread online that she had dated a hotel receptionist in Russia for money.
In 2022, in the midst of her global MMS scandal, Anjali Arora eventually broke her silence, admitting that she had spent time with a Russian man in exchange for money.
Anjali, who was a contestant on the reality show ‘Lock Upp’ hosted by actor-politician Kangana Ranaut at the time, revealed on the show that she was in Russia and in need of money when the receptionist of the hotel she was staying at offered to pay her for spending some time with him, according to BollywoodLife.com.
According to the news report, Anjali admitted she was drawn to the Russian man and partied with him on a Saturday night in exchange for 5000 rubles (about Rs 5500 at the current exchange rate).
Who is Anjali Arora?
Anjali Arora, a well-known social media influencer turned performer, became an overnight celebrity with her viral performance in the song ‘Kacha Badam’. However, the teenage influencer’s unexpected success was quickly followed by trauma when a modified obscene video of hers was posted online, throwing her into shame.
In response to the recent 19-minute viral video issue involving YouTuber Payal Dhare, Anjali Arora recounted her own experience, describing how she has experienced persistent harassment from internet trolls for the last three years, even after the viral MMS tape was exposed as a fake.
In an emotive post, Anjali expressed her support with Payal Gaming, detailing how “one minute of entertainment” for online bullies has resulted in “years of trauma” for her after the modified MMS was leaked.
What is the Payal Gaming MMS controversy?
Payal Dhare, aka Payal Gaming, recently made headlines when her supposed private video, identical to the now-infamous 19-minute viral film, was posted online earlier this week. Similar to Sofik SK’s 19-minute viral movie, Payal’s supposed private clip has gone viral on social media, bringing notoriety and infamy to the young artist, despite the fact that many have pointed out that the viral MMS video is an AI-generated deepfake.
This month, a 19-minute viral video purportedly depicting Bengali YouTuber Sofik SK and his girlfriend Dustu Sonali caused a social media firestorm.
