Divya Prabha's recent controversy


Divya Prabha's intimate scenes from All We Imagine As Light were leaked online and quickly went viral. The actress recently addressed the controversy in an interview with Onmanorama. Divya revealed that she expected such reactions when she agreed to the role.

However, she expressed disappointment over the response from some people in Kerala. The actress noted that while the same audience admires international filmmakers and artists for similar work, they remain intolerant when Malayali women take on such roles. 


Despite the backlash, Divya appreciated the support from a section of people, especially men, who opposed the negative reactions. She believed this support showed hope in the mindset of the younger generation.

Divya further added, "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 totally convinced about my character in All We Imagine As Light," Divya continued.
