South Indian actress Hansika Motwani was landed in trouble as her private pictures from her late holiday in New York had found their way to the internet.

However, the actress, with the help of her team, managed to take down the images from the internet. Hansika, who had faced the wrath of online hackers, had even taken to social media and requested her fans and followers to stop responding to any messages as her phone and Twitter account were hacked. 

Her tweet read: "Phone n Twitter hacked please don’t respond to any random messages. My back end team is working on getting things in control." 

After the pictures of Hansika wearing bikini were leaked on social media, haters also accused her of doing this stunt for attention and publicity. However, days after the incident, Hansika opened up about the matter.

Giving a befitting reply to the haters, Hansika, in a statement to the Times of India, said, "I don’t need to seek attention from anybody. Right through my career, I’ve kept a low profile and that reflects in how I conduct myself on social media as well. That’s just who I am as a person. So if someone sitting in the corner of their room wants to say that I’m doing this for attention, I don’t think that such people even deserve a response. I just feel sorry for them."

The actress further added, "I noticed that something was wrong with my phone ever since went to the United States a few weeks ago. But it came as a huge shock to me when I realized that my private information and pictures have been leaked into the public domain. These pictures were taken four years ago and some of them have been smartly morphed by the hackers. I soon figured that my Twitter account has also been hacked and I then alerted my technical team to deal with it."

On the professional front, Hansika, who was last seen in NTR biopic and Thuppaki Munai alongside Vikram Prabhu, will be next seen in debutant director UR Jameel's film Maha.
