Ghuspaithiya makers' initiative
This initiative aims to create awareness about cyber threats and make society a safer place.

Ghuspaithiya Trailer Launch
The trailer launch of Ghuspaithiya that was held in Mumbai recently, was an unprecedented event, featuring not only the star cast but also survivors of cyber hacking, phone tapping, and other cyber security threats. During the launch, a survivor of the cyber crime, bravely shared her story at the event, detailing the trauma she endured due to a horrifying cyber attack, making the launch extremely powerful and unique!
"I have been a survivor of an intense cyber crime where my phone was hacked, and my photos were morphed to create new, explicit images of me," said the survivor while narrating her horrifying experience.
"The hacker then threatened me with demands for meetings and sexual activities. I felt as if my world had ended, not knowing what to do after being caught in such a trap. As a member of this industry, I was terrified and shocked about what my family and others would think. Every day, I received calls from different numbers, demanding sexual favors and threatening to leak the morphed images online if I didn't comply. They also had access to my credit card and other important banking information."

Talking about her being firm, she added, "Despite the fear, I mustered the courage and refused to give in to their demands. I told them clearly that I would not do anything they wanted and that they were free to do whatever they threatened. When they realized I wasn't falling into their trap, they started demanding money. However, they soon found out that I had hardly any money in my account, as my salary hadn't been credited. Eventually, they offered me an amount of ₹10 lakh to work for them in their disgusting activities. The mental state I was in during this time was indescribable; I was trapped in a terrifying nightmare. But a big thanks to Nikhil (Jethwa) Sir for helping me through this mess."
