In September 2016, Kannada actor, Sonu Gowda’s nude selfies went viral on social media. The actor had then filed a complaint stating that those were pictures she had sent to her husband and that someone had taken her phone and uploaded them on social media.
In 2013, another Kannada actor, Rishika Singh’s face was morphed in a video, which went viral after it was uploaded on YouTube.
The clip showed a woman similar to Rishika having sexual intercourse with her ‘Benki Birugali' co-star S K Basheed, who is also the actor-director of the flick.
