Famous Pakistani actress, model and host Mathira recently revealed details of a disturbing chapter in her life during an interview on a private TV channel.

The actress opened up about the circulation of explicit videos in 2021, highlighting how they were created and distributed, and the steps she took to address the matter.

Mathira candidly revealed that the videos, which went viral on social media, were fabricated and edited by a man from Jhang.

The individual allegedly sold the manipulated content for an average price of Rs 2,000, leading to its widespread dissemination. Mathira stated that she immediately contacted cyber crime authorities, who investigated the matter and identified the culprit.

“The man was not only involved in distributing my videos but was also selling obscene content from other women,” she said. However, Mathira expressed uncertainty about whether the other videos were genuine or similarly treated.

Reflecting on her experience, Mathira emphasized the serious impact such incidents can have on women, especially those without a robust support system. “When a girl faces such an ordeal, it can destroy her life. I was fortunate to have the support of my family and friends, but not everyone has that privilege,” she said.

The actress slammed the media and social media pages for sensationalizing the incident. “Someone’s personal video or picture is not news,” she argued, calling for more responsible reporting on such matters.

In an earlier statement, Mathira had dismissed the viral videos as “deep fakes” created using artificial intelligence (AI). She pointed out discrepancies in the content, such as the absence of her signature tattoos, which proved the videos were fabricated.

This revelation comes amid growing concerns about cyber-harassment and the misuse of AI technology to create fake videos. Mathira’s case highlights the need for stronger measures to protect individuals, especially women, from such crimes.
