At Cyber Safety Launch, Akshay Kumar Says 13-Year-Old Daughter Was Asked for Nude Photos in Online Game

He urged Maharashtra to add a weekly 'cyber period' for classes 7–10 as the state began a month-long drive to teach families and schools how to stay safe online.

Overview

  • Kumar recounted that a stranger in an online game shifted from polite messages to asking if the player was female and then demanded nude photos.
  • He said his daughter immediately shut down the device and informed her mother, which he praised as the right response.
  • The disclosure came at the inauguration of Cyber Awareness Month at the Maharashtra police headquarters in Mumbai, attended by Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis and senior officials.
  • Calling such approaches part of grooming that can lead to extortion and worse, Kumar warned that cybercrime is growing faster than street crime.
  • Coverage describes a month-long campaign focused on children, parents and schools, and it does not report any complaint or investigation tied to the incident.
