Avantika Gaokar, a Mumbai-based small-time model, is in the news because her nude pics have allegedly been leaked by some miscreants.  At a time when sexual harassment of women in the film industry has become a debating point, the latest incident has shocked many.

A Chennai-based director is alleged to be behind the ugly incident.  Reportedly, the director had recently shot Avantika's nude poses for a web series he is doing for Netflix. When the nude pictures, done secretly, got leaked, it caught the actress by shock.

While the director has said that he deleted the stills a couple of days ago, the actress has already threatened legal action against him.  Since Avantika is in Lucknow, she is unable to initiate legal proceedings.  Once she is back in Mumbai, she will do the needful, say the reports.
