Indian actress Rashmika Mandanna has issued a statement after she was the victim of a deepfake video also involving the British-Indian influencer, engineer and model Zara Patel. In a video, which has since gone viral across social media, a woman with Mandanna's face, wearing workout gear with a low-cut neckline can be seen getting into an elevator, with another person in the lift filming from a POV perspective. However, 27-year-old Mandanna, best known for her roles in Telugu and Kannada films as well as Tamil and Hindi films, is not the woman in the video at all. The body of the woman belongs to the aforementioned Patel, who has more than 400,000 followers on Instagram alone. Mandanna meanwhile has more than 39 million followers. After being made aware of the video Mandanna has issued a statement lambasting the deepfake video, calling it 'extremely scary' and called for urgent action to be taken on how deepfake technology is being used. Mandanna has also shared a side-by-side video featuring the deepfake and the original clip to show the difference between the two. Meanwhile, Patel has also said that she had reported the video on Instagram and called for similar action to be taken. On X/Twitter the influencer wrote: "I've reported this deep fake video of me and instagram hasnt taken it down. We seriously need prompt action when it comes to things like this. Do better @instagram." Deepfakes have become an increased problem since the technology emerged a few years with many users utilising the technology to make explicit clips and images of female stars such as Billie Eilish, Scarlett Johansson and Emma Watson. The likes of Greta Thunberg and MrBeast have also been victims of deepfakes with the technology being used to fool people into believing that they promoted issues and schemes which they do not condone.

Former adult star Adriana Chechik is still in chronic levels of pain over a year after breaking her back in a foam pit accident. Chechik required surgery one her back after breaking it by diving into a foam pit at the Twitch annual convention, TwitchCon, in October 2022. Footage of the incident went viral at the time, as Chechik could be seen smiling while diving into the foam pit, before landing on her back and immediately being in clear pain. She yelled to the camera person, “I can't get out” and riled in agony. When asked if she was OK, she shook her head and one person could be heard shouting for a medic. A year on from the freak accident, Chechik has updated fans on how she’s doing. She admitted that she is still in a lot of pain from the accident. The Daily Star reports that she explained in an X/Twitter post: “This year, I’ve learned so much about my own strength and will to achieve my goals. I started doing 5 to 6-day-a-week workouts at 7 AM for the past two months. “I’ve been doing physical therapy seven days a week for close to a year now. I cannot explain how hard it is to motivate yourself every morning when you’re suffering with chronic pain.” In recent years, Chechik has transitioned away from being an adult performer in favour of live-streaming gaming content and posting on her OnlyFans account. Despite having surgery, Chechik has ongoing issues with back pain resulting from the accident. But, she explained, she is on the slow road to recovery. She added: “On top of the back surgery, it caused six herniated discs to my lower spine that offers constant irritation. However, I have pushed through my tears and reached my goal weight. I am well on my way to becoming the healthiest I’ve ever been and having my body be the strongest it’s ever been.” “I’m praying that every day I get stronger, it’ll be another day in my future I will have less pain. I was told from my physical therapist and doctors that if I can maintain a six-pack, I will be able to support my spine and live with less issues,” Chechik continued.

A woman's dating tip has divided social media, leaving some in hysterics over the "genius" remark, and others feeling less than impressed. In a viral TikTok clip that's racked up 7.1 million views, Pearl Botts advised women to say this one simple comment if asked to split the bill. Acting out the hypothetical date, Pearl pretended to be shocked while picking up the receipt. "Oh my God, I’m so embarrassed right now. Um, wait you wanted to just be friends? I’m so confused, this whole entire time, I thought this was a date," she said. The comments immediately came rolling in, with one saying: "'No it’s okay, it’s on me' make him feel like the princess he is". Another added: "I have never been on a 50/50 date. Choose right you guys. Sprinkle sprinkle." A waitress chimed in and said, " I always give the bill to the men. ALWAYS". Meanwhile, others were left baffled with one candidly sharing: "I'm so confused why is it bad to split 50/50." "You are literally strangers on the first date," another fellow TikToker commented. "Pay for what you order." @pearlbotts would u do this? #datingadvice #datingtips #datingmindset A separate dating technique has become widespread online, in which women are refusing to sleep with their date unless they spend at least $2,000 on them. Columnist Jana Hocking said she was warming up the idea, after hearing Joe Rogan candidly open up about PNS. "The first reason why this new rule is kinda growing on me is that if a guy is willing to go on enough dates to warrant $2,000 out of pocket expense, then there’s a fair chance the guy is properly invested in you," Hocking wrote for AU News. "I mean, if a libido can withstand that many dates, then he’s a keeper," she continued.

Dating in 2023 can be draining. One minute, TikTokers and experts alike urge singletons to abide by a set of rules. The next, there are none. Then, there's the evergrowing dictionary of dating terms people must become familiar with – and this is all before you've even swiped right. But now, one 'new' dating technique circulating online has people divided, and it requires a man to spend $2,000 on his date before their date even considers sleeping with him. Columnist Jana Hocking highlighted the rise of the dating trend, adding that she's warming up to the idea. "The first reason why this new rule is kinda growing on me is that if a guy is willing to go on enough dates to warrant $2,000 out of pocket expense, then there’s a fair chance the guy is properly invested in you," Hocking wrote for AU News. "I mean, if a libido can withstand that many dates, then he’s a keeper," she continued. She went on to share the second reason, writing: "I think most importantly, is spending that amount of time together without getting distracted by nakedness might actually help us get all those icks out of the way nice and early." The trend was taken a bit more seriously after podcaster Joe Rogan suggested that some men experience something called 'PNS' – look it up. This can often lead to many women being harshly ghosted after intercourse. He said: "You realise you made a mistake, especially if the woman is really into you, and you’re really not into her and you’re like ‘oh I made an error’ and then you do feel like an a**hole, but I’m just being honest. I got tricked by genetics!" How to join the indy100's free WhatsApp channel Sign up for our free Indy100 weekly newsletter Have your say in our news democracy.
