Actress and Bigg Boss Tamil contestant Oviya Helen is all over the news of late after her alleged private video went viral online. However, the actress has now stated that the video is morphed and has lodged a police complaint regarding the same.
Oviya's manager told News18 that the fake video was circulated online to "tarnish" the actress' image. "She has taken the matter to the police commissioner and will take necessary legal action against the culprit," he said.
The spokesperson also refused to divulge further details calling it a "sensitive issue".
