Hyderabad: Oviya, also known as Helen Nelson, a popular contestant from Bigg Boss Tamil Season 1, has found herself in the middle of controversy following the alleged leak of an intimate video. The video, which went viral across various social media platforms, shows a woman in a compromising position with a man, leading to speculation that Oviya was the person in the clip. The video, initially circulated on X (formerly Twitter), sparked widespread debate about whether the visual was authentic or the result of a deepfake. As netizens questioned the legitimacy of the clip, Oviya's silence on the matter only added to the intrigue.
- Cyber attack or real clip?
The viral clip has left many wondering if it was a targeted cyber attack or a genuine leak. Given the advancements in digital manipulation and the increasing prevalence of deepfakes, there has been speculation over whether the video was altered to look like the actor. Many of Oviya's supporters believe that the clip could have been fabricated and are urging caution before drawing any conclusions.

Despite the uproar, Oviya has refrained from addressing the issue directly. However, she made a cryptic post on her Instagram account, sharing a photo of herself waving. The image, though seemingly unrelated to the controversy, has led to further speculation among her followers about its meaning.

The user bluntly asked her to speak out regarding the circulating video. Oviya responded with a brief yet intriguing comment: "Next time bro." To another fan, she replied, "Let them talk more." While her response did not clarify the situation, it showed that she was aware of the controversy but chose to keep her reaction light-hearted and minimal.
