only this year it came to the fore that director srijit mukherji is in a happy space with bangladeshi actress and social worker rafiath rashid mithila and now as rumours of an impending wedding gather steam mithila found herself in the eye of a storm in bangladesh after her intimate pictures with bangladeshi director iftekhar ahmed fahmi went viral srijit too reacted strongly incidentally iftekhar is a director and writer known for house full 2008 to be continued 2017 and made in bangladesh 2007speaking about the trauma that mithila is going through he said it is a criminal act and a gross violation of privacy whoever has done it needs to be put behind bars the way mithila has handled the situation is exemplary i think her statement on facebook is brilliant and to the point it makes me all the more proud of hernot one to shy away from the controversy mithila took to social media and gave a lowdown on the turn of events and the legal recourse she wrote so here i am not explaining what has happened but rather clarifying my stand on the recent social media drama about some of my private photos some real some fabricated which have been made public vindictively to vilify my reputation by some criminalsthose were my photos shared with my then boyfriend back in 20172018 when we were dating his facebook profile got hacked when the perpetrators purposefully looked for contents to use them criminally here i want to emphasize on the word dating which means we were in a relationship and we should not be so naive about the fact that when two people date they share intimate moments and photos possibly through social media in this era of technology and i do take the responsibility of not being able to protect my privacyhowever i am not ashamed of my photos of me being exposed rather i am ashamed of the fact that some shallow people of my country took the liberty of posting sharing and using my private moments selling subscription and news out of it at the cost of vilifying my reputation and image raping me virtually i am ashamed that the media particularly some news portals have published this news without my consent and quoting me when i have never spoken or given any statement to them i feel ashamed and enraged the same way i feel rage when i see women getting sexually violated on the streets at home in the virtual space everywheremy stand here is this i strongly believe that my honour and dignity do not lie in my body or my undergarments or in my private photos all i have achieved in my life is through my hard work creativity and education which do not go in vein because some criminals have victimized me stealing and negatively using my private moments from the pasti took a break for the past 24 hours to stay calm and focus on my positive energy
