The Kannada film industry is addressing concerns raised by female actors regarding inappropriate filming angles at public events. Actor Sapthami Gowda brought attention to the issue, highlighting how some photographers deliberately capture suggestive shots, which are then circulated online.
Senior actor Shiva Rajkumar has lent his support, calling it unfortunate that reminders about respecting women are still needed. He urged the media to work with a conscience and refrain from hurting women's dignity.
Other artists, including Rukmini Vasanth and Ashika Ranganath, have shared statements supporting Gowda. They emphasized that this problem is recurrent at public gatherings, press meets, and film events, detracting from their professional work.
The collective outcry aims to foster responsible media coverage and uphold dignity during public appearances. Artists stressed their presence is for film promotion, not to be subjected to objectionable filming for viral content.
