News of the police seizing a hard disk containing nude videos of movie stars has gone viral, sparking curiosity about whose videos they are.
The fact that this news broke just yesterday, followed by the discussions on the sudden leak of controversial videos to certain channels, adds another layer to the sensation.
Political tensions are high in the state, with allegations of a flawed caste survey and rising caste conflicts. Opposition party and some activists are focussing on escalating the issue.
Some suggest this hard disk story surfaced deliberately to divert attention from these pressing issues.
The media thrives on sensationalism. Compared to political controversies, leaked videos of movie stars make for hotter headlines.
That’s why digital TV channels focused heavily on it, spinning stories with as much drama as possible, like adding extra spice to a dish.
Interestingly, people claim the videos don’t feature actresses from notable films but rather not much known aspiring actresses.
Everybody in the society has some expectations from every controversial news, be it good, bad or ugly.
