Not Every Party is a Celebration: New Campaign Warns Against Sextortion Traps — Featuring Ameesha Patel
In an era of rising online threats, a gripping new public awareness campaign titled “Beware of Sextortion” has been launched to shine a spotlight on one of the darkest forms of cybercrime — sextortion.
Starring actress Ameesha Patel, the campaign uses powerful storytelling to reveal how innocent social interactions can turn into calculated digital traps used for blackmail, extortion, and psychological trauma.
“One trap. One call. 1945.”
Through the video, viewers are reminded that not every connection is genuine, and that some are specifically designed to shame, silence, and exploit.
Your Voice Is Your Power
Victims often suffer in silence due to fear and social stigma. The campaign urges anyone who is being threatened or blackmailed to:
Not panic
Not give in
Call the helpline: 1945 — a confidential lifeline to get help, legal guidance, and emotional support.
With the tagline “Hum behkoof nahi banenge”, the message is loud and clear: it’s time to break the silence and take a stand.
