Today, as a woman and as an actor, I am thankful for my family, friends and well-wishers who are my protection and support system. But if this happened to me when I was in school or college, I genuinely can¡¯t imagine how could I ever tackle this. We need to address this as a community and with urgency before more of us are affected by such identity theft," the actress took to Twitter to write.?
