Actor Malavika Mohan has lashed out at the Asianet Tamil website for morphing her photo to make it braless before sharing it from its official Twitter handle.
Sharing the fake photo shared by Asianet Tamil, Malavika wrote, “Sad to see such prominent media house use fake photoshopped vulgar photos without doing a fact check just for social media mileage. @AsianetNewsTM shame on you.”
Faced with public humiliation, Asianet immediately deleted the fake tweet.

Malavika then shared her original photo as she wrote, “This is a photo of mine from a few months back which somebody has photoshopped and created a fake vulgar one. A lot of people have been circulating that including media houses like @AsianetNewsTM, which is just cheap journalism. If you see the fake one please help & report.”
