Vidya Balan files FIR against fake online accounts promising work

Vidya Balan

The perpetrator used these accounts to allegedly ask for money from people in Bollywood by falsely promising work opportunities. Bollywood star Vidya Balan has filed a first information report (FIR) against an unknown individual for creating fake Instagram and Gmail accounts in her name.

These fraudulent accounts were even used to offer job opportunities to people from the film industry. The actress learned about the impersonation when a designer she had worked with got a WhatsApp message from an unknown number in January.

The imposter, pretending to be Vidya Balan, expressed interest in working together and suggested discussing it further if the designer was interested. The designer immediately contacted the actress to alert her that someone claiming to be her had texted him.

On the work front, Vidya Balan will return as Manjulika in the hit franchise Bhool Bhulaiya. Last week, Kartik Aaryan confirmed the news by sharing a montage of scenes from the ‘Ami Je Tomar’ dance that he performed in Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2 as well as Vdiya Balan’s performance from Bhool Bhulaiyaa. She also has an upcoming release, Do Aur Do Pyaar.
