The actress took to her Instagram story to share a news report of the Italian PM and wrote, "No woman can escape sexism, bullying and harassment and we think being successful going to make us feel safe and respected. Shame," Kangana wrote.

For those unversed, Meloni sought damages over series of deepfake porn videos allegedly uploaded in 2020. According to several media reports, the PM is scheduled to provide testimony in a court in Sassari, Italy, on July 2.
The police is investigating a 40-year-old person and his 73-year-old father who are believed to be responsible for producing the videos. A report in BBC stated that the duo allegedly swapped Meloni's face with an adult film actor in the viral deepfake video.
