A private video allegedly featuring popular Bhojpuri actress Kajal Kumari has been leaked online. The video spread rapidly across social media platforms this week. It has sparked widespread outrage and raised serious privacy concerns. The incident highlights the dangers of digital exploitation.
According to Reuters, authorities are now investigating the source of the leak. The viral clip has triggered a debate on consent and cyber laws in India. The actress’s team has condemned the act and is pursuing legal recourse. The video was leaked by an international porn bot network.
Who Is Kajal Kumari?
Kajal Kumari is a rising teenage actress in the Bhojpuri entertainment industry. She is known for her dance performances, acting in short-format videos, and appearances in regional music content. Born around 2010, she grew up in Bihar and entered the entertainment field at a young age. Her popularity increased quickly due to her social media presence and collaborations with emerging Bhojpuri artists.
Despite being only 15, she had already built a significant fanbase, and many considered her one of the promising new faces in regional entertainment. Her young age and growing fame have made the recent controversy even more concerning.
Deepfake MMS Leak of Kajal: What Really Happened?
At the start of November 2025, the Bhojpuri industry was shocked when an alleged MMS of Kajal Kumari went viral nationwide. Within hours, the clip was widely forwarded, and many people assumed it was real. The pressure on Kajal and her family grew intensely as the video circulated.
However, investigators soon found that the footage was not authentic. Experts analysing the clip detected AI-generated distortions, confirming that it was created using deepfake technology. Specialists noted mismatched lighting, unnatural facial patterns, and digital blending — signs that Kajal’s face was superimposed onto another person’s body.
A detailed probe later linked the clip to an international porn-bot network known for creating and distributing fake videos of public figures. These networks use automated systems to generate deepfakes for clicks, blackmail, and trafficking on illegal platforms.
Police Investigation and Legal Action
Following the leak, Kajal Kumari filed a complaint with the cyber cell. Investigators began tracking the digital trail to identify the origin of the clip. Authorities are also examining accounts involved in mass-forwarding the MMS.
Her team issued a strong statement calling the leak “a deliberate digital attack.”
Kajal said the incident amounted to a “digital character assassination,” and she demanded strict action against those responsible.
Impact on Kajal and the Deepfake Crisis in India
The viral video has raised a major debate about online safety, particularly for minors in the entertainment industry. Many actors and activists urged the government to strengthen deepfake detection laws and increase penalties for those who create or share manipulated content.
Kajal’s supporters defended her online, urging people not to judge her based on a fake video. Social media conversations highlighted how quickly misinformation can ruin reputations.
The incident has once again shown how AI-driven exploitation can harm young artists. It also reflects the urgent need for awareness, digital literacy, and stronger cyber-policing.
