In recent days, several well-known actors, including Aditi Rao Hydari, Sara Arjun, Shriya Saran and Rakul Preet Singh, have spoken up about a growing and unsettling problem: fake accounts pretending to be them. These imposters have been using their photos, names and even look-alike phone numbers to contact people, offer fake work opportunities or simply start random conversations. For many in the industry, this has become more than just a nuisance; it feels like a real invasion of privacy.
