In a TikTok post on Aug 31, the fake photos are shared alongside real ones, leaving social media users none the wiser.
The post has already garnered over 140,000 views and close to 300 comments.
Shalinny, 40, who works at the State Courts, was portrayed with a black “pottu” (a traditional coloured dot or mark worn on the forehead).
Her husband, who wanted to be known only as Selvaganesh, 43, said Shalinny does not wear a black pottu.
He was upset when he saw the TikTok post and told The Straits Times that fake images of his wife were being circulated.
