Actress Oviya who primarily works in Tamil cinema has been asking headlines for an alleged leaked private video of herself. Amid the report of the leaked video, Oviya dropped a picture of herself on Instagram without any caption. In the picture, she can be seen giving a subtle smile. However, it was her comment section that had everyone's attention.
Oviya's comment section on her latest post is flooded with mention of the leaked private video. Some of the comments were in poor taste. However, Oviya was not negatively impacted by the comments and instead chose to respond to them in her own way.
A user took the comment section and asked for a longer version of the leaked clip. Responding to it, Oviya wrote, "Next time, bro".
She also asked for the link from a user who commented, "Those who know".
