An X user Krithika Sivaswamy called out former cricketer Laxman Sivaramakrishnan for using a photo of her house in a Chennai rain post without credit. She expressed frustration over not being tagged and being dragged into unnecessary discussions online. The incident sparked debate on social media about proper attribution and respecting original content creators.

A social media exchange has sparked debate after an X user, Krithika Sivaswamy, called out former Indian cricketer Laxman Sivaramakrishnan for allegedly using her house’s image without credit.

The controversy began when Sivaramakrishnan shared a post about heavy rainfall in Chennai, captioned, “After 1 hour of rain in Chennai,” alongside a photo. Soon after, Sivaswamy responded, claiming the image belonged to her and expressing frustration over the lack of attribution.

“Sir that is from my house & I posted it. You could have either tagged me or mentioned me when you used my picture. I am being tagged in all unnecessary tweets asking me to give clarification about my own house. Ridiculous to the core,” she wrote on X.

Her response quickly gained traction, with users weighing in on issues of content ownership and proper credit on social media. Many supported her stance, emphasizing the importance of acknowledging original creators, especially when posts go viral and draw widespread attention.
