Tamil actress Shruthi Narayan recently made headlines after her casting couch video leaked online.

Some media outlets have been using my image and profile in a story about a Tamil serial actress whose adult video has gone viral. Media should do a minimum level of diligence on whom they are reporting and not drag unrelated people into controversies,” read the statement.
