Social media savvy Anupam Kher has called out imposters in a viral video. Crooks created a lookalike Instagram account, stocked with his real videos, to befriend his contacts and potentially fleece followers.
The ruse was foiled when puzzled pals sought clarification from the star. Kher wasted no time, declaring his single official page and warning against duplicates. ‘Beware of frauds using my name for shady deals,’ he captioned, alluding to prevalent scams promising fat profits from movie ventures.
With Bollywood frauds on the rise, Kher’s heads-up is crucial for fan safety. Many have been duped by similar tactics, underscoring the importance of skepticism.
Parallel to this drama, Kher is deep into production on ‘Khosla Ka Ghosla 2’ in Gurugram, his 550th cinematic outing. Foggy set photos captured his delight in the severe cold, a novelty for the Mumbai-based actor. Teaming up are Boman Irani, Kiran Joneja, Ranvir Shorey, Parvin Dabas, and Tara Sharma for this sequel packed with humor and heart.
Kher’s blend of career highs and security savvy reminds us: in the virtual world, trust but verify.
