Anjali Arora Supports Payal Gaming
Initially, Payal Dhare, aka Payal Gaming, did not react to the controversy, but in recent updates, she urged fans not to engage with deepfakes. She spoke about how such events affect people off-screen and that she was speaking on behalf of other women who are also the victims of the same. Her words showed empathy, concern, and emotion. Reacting to this, Anjali Arora also came forward and recalled facing a similar nightmare back when a fake MMS with her name was circulated.
She wrote, “Three years ago, I went through the trauma of a fake MMS being circulated using my name. Seeing the same thing happen to Payal Gaming today brings back those painful memories.” In August 2022, Arora got intense hate when an intimate video was falsely linked to her. She denied all the claims, saying that the video was morphed. This controversy caused her severe mental distress and also affected her family, especially because she was just 21 at the time. She went on to file an FIR and a defamation case against many portals and YouTube channels spreading fake content.
Arora confessed to still receiving hate and vulgar comments on her social media comment section three years since the controversy. What are your thoughts on this? Let us know.
