Divya Prabha's nude scene from 'All We Imagine As Light' leaked! Actress breaks silence

Actress Divya Prabha, whose nude scene from her film 'All We Imagine As Light' leaked online recently, has broken her silence. Calling the incident 'really pathetic', Divya said that she doesn't need to strip naked to earn fame. She also said that she was anticipating such a response from a section of people when she signed up for the role.

Divya Prabha played the role of a Malayali nurse, Anu, in All We Imagine As Light. Helmed by Payal Kapadia, the movie also stars Kani Kusruti, Chhaya Kadam, and Hridhu Haroon in lead roles.

While talking about the incident from the sets of director Thamar KV's upcoming film in Dubai, Divya said, "It is really pathetic. However, I had anticipated such a response from a section of the people in Kerala even when I signed up for the role."

Further, she added, "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."

Furthermore, Divya criticised the individuals who shared the leaked clip and called them a small but troubling fraction of society.

"Those who shared the leaked videos comprise 10 per cent 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," she added.

Responding to the criticism, she added, "Some people criticised 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."
