Divya Prabha reacts to her nude scene leaked on social media

In an interview with OnManorama, Divya Prabha said that doesn't need to strip naked for fame and slammed the pathetic mindset of those circulating her nude video. She said, "It is pathetic. However, I had anticipated such a response from a section of the people in Kerala even when I signed up for the role. We are a community that celebrates filmmakers like Yorgos Lanthimos and even the actress who won the Oscar for her work in the film. But we are intolerant of Malayali women doing such roles. I am glad to see there were people, especially men, who opposed the act. This shows there is a lot of hope in the present generation."

‘Don't need to strip naked to earn fame'

For those unversed, the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) approved the scene sans any cuts. "Those who shared the leaked videos comprise 10 percent of the population, and I don't understand their mindset. Malayalis were also part of the Central Board, which gave us the approval. As an actor, I do scripts I am convinced about, and I was convinced about my character in All We Imagine As Light. Some people criticized me, saying that I did the nude scene for fame. I have won several awards and have also been part of critically acclaimed movies. I don't think I need to strip naked to earn fame," she added.
