Actress Preeti Gupta's nude photos were leaked last week. Gupta, who recently acted in the film Unfreedom, spoke out about the leak, calling it a violation of her privacy.

Unfreedom, directed by Raj Amit Kumar, was banned in India for showing explicit scenes between a lesbian couple and for its portrayal of religious fundamtentalism.

The leaked nude pictures that are being circulated are allegedly screenshots from the film.

Speaking with the Hindustan Times, Gupta said, "It's true that the actors are vulnerable, and I am actually very angry about it. It's bizarre and a violation of privacy. It's not cool, and if there is anything to be banned, it's such kind of things."

The actress, who made her acting debut with the TV drama Kahaani Ghar Ghar Kii, also talked about the rigour and effort that goes into shooting these scenes.

"Shooting such scenes needs dedication and discipline. It's very challenging. The concept of the film made sense to me and that's why we decided to show the truth of the situation. Ultimately, we were trying to recreate two hours of reality. Our intention is not to titillate but to show you the truth. It needs courage," Gupta said

Gupta is the second actress to have faced this situation in recent times. In April, Radhika Apte found herself in a similar situation when a private video was leaked online.
