Harshika Pooncha and Kollywood actor STR (Simbu) were caught in an MMS footage, which showed the actors kissing. The incident was said to have taken place in Malaysia, at the SIIMA awards. The actress who remained silent for a long time, has finally come out of her shell and revealed that it was a morphed video.

The actress further added, that she just happened to meet Tamil actor Simbu at the function with her other co-stars and parted ways after. She also said that she did not want to waste her time on such an issue, which had no truth, but added that she could not remain silent after she received several anonymous comments from unknown people. She also cleared that she had no point to take this issue legally, but she is glad that Simbu has taken a step to sue the hotel at which the said video was taken.
