Kannada star Shiva Rajkumar and his daughter Niveditha Shivarajkumar have come out in support of Sapthami Gowda after she slammed how pictures and videos of actors are clicked at inappropriate angles.
Shiva even termed it a 'misfortune' that in today's day and age, it has to be pointed out that women deserve respect.
Sapthami Gowda wrote a strongly worded Instagram post calling out those who click pictures and videos that violate actresses' dignity.
She wrote, 'As women in the film industry, we stand together in addressing a recurring issue. Repeatedly, videos and photographs of female actors at public events are shot and circulated from inappropriate angles, with unnecessary zooms that focus on our bodies rather than our work.'
Slamming the 'deliberate zoom-ins', she added, 'We unequivocally condemn deliberate zoom-ins and inappropriate angles. They are clear violations of dignity and will not be normalised or tolerated.'
Rukmini Vasanth, Ashika Ranganath, Divya Spandana and other actors also stood in support of Sapthami after she shared her note.
