Overview
- Speaking on Raj Shamani’s podcast Sunday, Kapoor recalled being 15 in school IT class when she saw a morphed explicit image of herself on a porn site.
- She said AI-made images that look real still surface online and are sometimes posted by official news pages, showing outfits or poses she never wore or did.
- Kapoor explained that these fake visuals can shape how directors see her, which can affect casting and wardrobe talks by creating a false record of what she has done.
- She said she recently confronted paparazzi about zoomed and edited shots of her body, calling the practice invasive and non-consensual.
- Citing reputational harm and fear of backlash tied to perceptions of privilege, she said she now limits her visibility and overthinks posts, as her remarks renew focus in India on consent, platform checks, and support for victims.
