TV actress Nupur Joshi, who is known for her performance in the popular show ‘Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai’ has become a victim of online fraud. The actress was fooled by some hackers after she submitted her government ID proof to get her Instagram account verified. In a recent interview, Nupur opened up about this fraud and revealed that she is now 'scared' for her future. The actress also gave a detailed account of the incident saying she was never interested to get the blue tick on Insta until her fans told her its importance.
Speaking with Etimes TV, Nupur stated, “It all started the time I planned to submit a verification request to Instagram on my page. So they give us a form in which we attach our identity documents. So the complete activity needs to be confidential. But soon next morning I got an email pretending to be from the instagram team stating that they have verified my page and need me to submit my government identifications so that after review they will get my blue teak appear on my page.”
She added, “And I found it genuine as how will a third party know that I submitted a request. But I was fooled by some hackers. I don't know what will happen next with this fraud for me in future, I'm scared.”
Nupur also alleged that there are many third parties who target celebrity profiles in order to make money. She also shared a screenshot of the mail she received from hackers, urging the photo-sharing app to look into the matter. Meanwhile, Joshi has been entertaining the audience with her acting chops for nearly a decade now. She also starred in TV shows like 'Rakhi', 'Do Hanson Ka Jodaa', Kumkum: Ek Pyara Sa Bandhan, Khushiyan, and others.
