Even as 'Kanchana-3' is minting money at the box-office, its Russian-born actress Ri Djavi Alexandra is in the news for a different reason.

The actress recently lodged a complaint with the police that she has been sexually harassed by a blackmailer, who is a professional photographer.  The harasser's name is Roopesh Kumar.  As per her complaint, Kumar photographed her as part of a photo-shoot, promising to help her get film offers.  Days later, he texted her demanding sexual favours from her.

Kumar even threatened the youngster that he would morph her pictures and put them out on the Internet if she doesn't give in to his demands.  A devastated Alexandra approached the Chennai police, who promptly launched an inquiry.  They found that Kumar is indeed guilty of blackmailing the starlet.  They have since arrested him.
