<\/p>\nActor Janhvi Kapoor has candidly spoken about her first encounter with manipulated imagery resembling deepfakes, recalling a deeply unsettling experience from her school days. Appearing on the Raj Shamani Podcast, the actress shared how the incident left a lasting impression on her and shaped her views on digital ethics and consent.<\/p>\n

Janhvi Kapoor recalls disturbing early deepfake experience: \u201cI saw a picture of myself on a porn site\u201d<\/p>\n
Reflecting on the episode, Kapoor said, \u201cI don\u2019t know if it was technically a deepfake, but it was something like that. I saw a picture of myself on a porn site. We had IT class in school, and the boys used to go on those sites for fun\u2014and my pictures were there. This was while I was still in school. That was a weird experience.\u201d<\/p>\n
The actor admitted that the incident forced her to confront the darker realities of being in the public eye at a young age. \u201cAt some point, I thought, \u2018Why? Is this just the price you have to pay?\u2019 Like there\u2019s no morality in these things. With social media, everyone is just putting things out there. If anything, this new \u2018woke\u2019 sensitivity has slightly corrected behaviour in terms of ethics and morality\u2014but largely, it\u2019s still a problem. A lot of people think it\u2019s normal\u2014\u2018This happens, you\u2019re a public figure, so it will happen\u2019,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
Kapoor also expressed concern over the growing circulation of AI-generated visuals that misrepresent her. \u201cI\u2019m not at peace with it. There are visuals of me out there\u2014circulated even by official news pages\u2014that are completely AI-generated. I\u2019ve never worn those things, I\u2019ve never been photographed like that. But it\u2019s circulated as if it\u2019s real, creating a certain impression,\u201d she revealed.<\/p>\n
Highlighting the professional implications, she added, \u201cTomorrow, if I\u2019m doing a film and I tell a director I\u2019m not comfortable wearing something, they could say, \u2018But you\u2019ve already done this\u2014people have seen it.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n
Despite her discomfort, Kapoor acknowledged the limitations she feels in speaking out. \u201cIt makes you question what the moral guidelines even are. It upsets me, of course. But I feel like I don\u2019t have enough voice or credibility to complain about it. People might say, \u2018You\u2019ve got so much in life, just tolerate this. Don\u2019t complain.\u2019 So I don\u2019t think my voice carries enough weight yet to address it without backlash. But it\u2019s not just me\u2014others have spoken about it too,\u201d she concluded.<\/p>\n
Her remarks add to the ongoing conversation around AI misuse, digital consent, and the urgent need for stronger ethical boundaries in the age of rapidly evolving technology.<\/p>\n
