Asha Sharath files petition against porn video

Actress Asha Sarath, is set to act as Kamal Haasan's wife in his Tamil film Thoongavanam, directed by Rajesh, has filed a complaint against the fake Whatsapp video that has been doing the rounds. A porn video supposedly featuring her started doing the rounds on Whatsapp recently. The actress had also responded on the matter through her official Facebook handle.
Asha posted, "Dear all..Thank u very much for the overwhelming care and support extended to me at this time of crisis. I'm thankful to you all from the depths of my heart for such concern extended to me. I was literally shocked on seeing the unethical and derogatory pictures and posts cast on social networks by some anti social elements. However I was determined that those behind such a heinous attempt to publicly outrage the modesty of a woman shall be taken to task. Hence I have filed a petition with the City Police Commissioner of Kochi. I am so grateful to the authorities that immediate action has been initiated on my petition."
"As has been reported, the case is now being investigated into by the state cyber police cell. I am given to understand that proceedings are already on and that the culprits shall be brought to law at the earliest. I believe that such criminal offences against women shall not go unpunished and I therefore am committed to fight this case till it is legally remedied. We all should join hands to ensure that women are respected and not humiliated. I thank u all, each one of u and especially the media, once again for taking up this issue as a priority."
The actress, who delivered one of her best performances in Mohanlal's blockbuster film 'Drishyam' as IG Geetha Prabhakar, also bagged the same role in its Tamil remake 'Papanasam', which had Kamal Haasan in the lead role.
