Actress
Anupama
Parameswaran
has
taken
legal
steps
against
a
young
woman
from
Tamil
Nadu.
The
20-year-old
was
accused
of
spreading
false
and
inappropriate
content
about
Anupama
and
her
family
on
Instagram.
Anupama
reported
the
issue
to
the
Cyber
Crime
Police
in
Kerala,
who
quickly
identified
the
individual
responsible
for
creating
multiple
fake
accounts
to
post
malicious
comments.
Anupama
shared
her
experience,
stating,
“A
few
days
ago,
it
came
to
my
notice
that
an
Instagram
profile
was
circulating
extremely
inappropriate
and
false
content
about
me,
my
family,
and
even
tagging
my
friends
and
co-actors.
The
posts
included
morphed
pictures
and
baseless
allegations
–
it
was
deeply
distressing
to
witness
such
targeted
harassment
online.”
She
emphasised
the
emotional
toll
this
harassment
took
on
her.
Cyber
Harassment
Consequences
The
actress
expressed
her
decision
not
to
reveal
the
offender’s
identity
due
to
her
young
age.
She
believes
in
giving
the
girl
a
chance
to
learn
from
her
mistakes
without
jeopardising
her
future.
Anupama
stressed
the
importance
of
accountability
in
online
spaces,
warning
that
actions
have
consequences.
Anupama
further
elaborated
on
this
point
by
stating,
“Owning
a
smartphone
or
having
access
to
social
media
platforms
does
not
give
anyone
the
right
to
harass,
defame,
or
spread
hatred
against
others.
Every
action
online
leaves
a
trace,
and
accountability
will
follow.
We
have
proceeded
with
legal
action,
and
the
individual
will
face
the
consequences
of
her
actions.”
Support
from
Industry
Peers
The
actress
received
support
from
colleagues
and
fans
alike
after
taking
a
stand
against
cyberbullying.
Her
industry
peers
have
rallied
behind
her,
recognising
the
seriousness
of
such
offences.
Anupama
highlighted
that
being
in
the
public
eye
does
not
exempt
one
from
basic
rights.
She
concluded
by
saying,
“Being
an
actor
or
a
public
figure
doesn’t
strip
away
basic
rights.
Cyberbullying
is
a
punishable
offence,
and
accountability
is
real.”
This
statement
underscores
the
need
for
stricter
measures
against
online
harassment.
