Thank you, rashmika_mandanna, for speaking up, and for addressing this issue that we have seen glimpses of so far, but many of us chose to remain silent. Every day, there are morphed, edited videos of female actors floating around on the internet, zooming into inappropriate body parts. Where are we heading as a community, and as a society? We may be actresses in the ‘limelight,’ but at the end of the day, each one of us is human. Why aren’t we talking about it? Don’t remain silent; now is not the time
