Mumbai, March 30 (IANS) Actress Mona Singh, who was in the news for a morphed MMS in which she was seen performing sexual acts, said Saturday that her family and friends stood by her.
The MMS was leaked Friday, and went viral.
Mona Singh said in a statement: “It is just completely appalling and disgraceful that someone on the web can go to the extent of morphing my face onto someone else’s body to create a sensational video! We have filed a severe complaint at the Cyber Crime Cell and are hoping to find the culprit. People need to realise that before being actors we’re respectable women and have family and friends who we’re answerable to and who get affected by negativity that is thrown in our direction.”
She further added: “Thankfully, my family and friends are standing by me like they always have, supporting me to see this through. If today this can happen to me, it can happen to any innocent girl and things like this can ruin lives and careers forever. This is a VERY SERIOUS issue and it needs to stop! As members of the media, journalists and editors should also take a stand against such acts and not provide the culprits with the publicity that they are hoping for as the outcome of their dastardly acts.”
