The extent of abuse is happening. As a woman and an actress, I thank my family, friends and well-wishers as they are my protectors and support system. Before many others become victims of such a case , We as a society must condemn this” the actress said in the post.
What actually happened?
In this video going viral on social media, a girl is seen in black dress. That girl’s face is exactly like Rashmika. In this video, the girl is seen entering the lift and she is wearing a very revealing dress. This video is morphed.
