In the recent past, private photos of actress Amy Jackson were leaked on social media.
While talking about the same, Amy had told Mid-Day, "I was shocked when this happened. This isn't a trivial matter and has to be taken up seriously. I will register a complaint with the cyber crime cell in London and ensure the hackers are taken to task. Cyber safety is the need of the hour."
And now, Kamal Haasan's daughter and actress Shruti Haasan's sister Akshara Haasan is the latest victim of cyber crime, with her intimate pictures getting leaked and spread all over social media like wildfire.
The beautiful actress who marked her debut with Shamitabh, starring Amitabh Bachchan and Dhanush, was making it to the headlines because of a reported case of hacking where her private photos were leaked.
The disgraceful act of sharing, commenting and gasping over the pictures of the actress in her lingerie has given rise to serious breach of privacy.
The pictures are being peddled with hashtags that are alarming and all over the place.
While the snaps are going viral, it isn't clear or confirmed if the pictures are really of Akshara Haasan. Also, the actress has chose not to speak on the matter.
With social media so prevalent and everything accessible at a click, several disadvantages of the internet have come to the fore; very little gap between private life and the public world of social media being on the top of the list.
Meanwhile, we hope the matter is brought to books and the hacker is punished.
