Rashmika Mandanna thanks Amitabh Bachchan for standing up for her over viral AI deepfake video

Hours after expressing concern over her viral AI deepfake video, Rashmika Mandanna thanked her 'Goodbye' co-star Amitabh Bachchan for standing up for her.

Her note of gratitude comes hours after her statement where she expressed her concern over the video.
Rashmika took to X on Monday evening to thank Amitabh. She reposted his tweet with the demand for ‘legal action' and wrote, “Thankyou for standing up for me sir, I feel safe in a country with leaders like you.”
Reacting to her viral deepfake video, Rashmika said it is "extremely scary" how technology is being misused, while her Goodbye co-star Amitabh Bachchan called for legal action.

Big B was one of the first people to react after a fact checker posted the deepfake clip along with the original video of a British-Indian social media personality Zara Patel, and demanded an urgent need for a legal and regulatory framework to deal with deepfakes in India. Reacting to the post, Amitabh said, "Yes this is a strong case for legal".

Rashmika also expressed her concern through Instagram, saying she was "really hurt" to see the video, which shows a woman dressed in black workout onesie inside an elevator.
