Actress Girija Oak Godbole Condemns Disturbing AI-Generated Images Circulating Online

In a heartfelt video shared on Instagram on November 11, 2025, Girija Oak Godbole, the actress who recently went viral as 'The Woman in the Blue Saree,' addressed the disturbing side of her overnight social media fame. Godbole, known for her acclaimed work in Marathi theatre and cinema, as well as Hindi projects like 'Taare Zameen Par' and 'Jawan,' expressed her concerns over the AI-generated vulgar images of her that have been circulating online.

Describing the sudden flood of attention as "absolute madness," Godbole acknowledged the love and support she has received from fans, friends, and colleagues. However, she also highlighted the troubling trend of "sexualized and objectified" AI-morphed images that have been shared online, which she finds deeply concerning.

Speaking as a mother, Godbole expressed her worry about the lasting impact these images could have on her 12-year-old son, who will eventually have access to them. She stressed that while viewers may know these images are fake, the "cheap thrill" they provide is a frightening reflection of the digital reality we live in.

Godbole emphasized that she cannot fully control the situation but refuses to stay silent. She urged those who use AI to morph images of women or men into inappropriate content, as well as those who consume such images, to think about the implications of their actions. The actress remains optimistic that the renewed attention could translate into more people watching her films, series, and plays, but she is determined to address the disturbing aspects of her newfound viral fame.
