Oviya Helen, one of the popular actresses in the South Indian film industry, especially in Tamil and Malayalam cinema, has found herself in the midst of a controversy. A viral video allegedly featuring her has been circulating on various social media platforms, causing a significant stir.
The video, which has gained widespread attention, shows a woman with a tattoo similar to Oviya’s. However, according to her manager, the video is morphed and intended to damage her reputation. Oviya has taken swift action by filing a complaint with the Chennai Police Commissioner.
In her complaint, Oviya mentioned a man named Tariq, with whom she was previously in a relationship. She ended the relationship due to his objectionable actions, and Tariq allegedly released the morphed video in an attempt to defame her. The complaint also states that Tariq is in possession of other manipulated photos and videos of women.
Oviya, known for her roles in films like ‘Kalavani’, ‘Marina‘, and ‘Yaamirukka Bayamey’, as well as her participation in ‘Bigg Boss Tamil Season 1’, has been facing online harassment. She has responded to trolls on Instagram, showing her resilience in the face of the issue.
The incident has sparked a nationwide debate on privacy, online safety, and the implications of going viral. It highlights the need for stronger protections for individuals online and clearer ethical standards for social media platforms.
