For fans of the star, seeing her name trending can be alarming. However, a closer look reveals a recurring pattern in the digital entertainment landscape: the viral phenomenon often has little to do with reality.

In the aftermath of the scandal, Kajal Agarwal took to the microblogging platform Twitter to express her disappointment and frustration over the incident. She appealed to her fans and followers to refrain from sharing the video and to respect her privacy. The actress also lodged a complaint with the police, naming a few individuals who were allegedly involved in the circulation of the video.

However, upon forensic analysis by digital fact-checkers and entertainment portals, a crucial detail emerged:

A significant portion of Tamil Twitter has turned the situation into a meme fest. Unrelated funny clips, stills from Kajal’s movies (like Mumbai Kannamma ), and sarcastic comments about "waiting for the link" dominate the replies. While this group isn't spreading the fake video, their engagement keeps the keyword "viral" alive, causing more harm than good by algorithmically boosting the scandal.
