Shriya Saran calls out the impersonator on Instagram
Shriya shared a screenshot on her Instagram showing the number used to mislead people. The impersonator even used her picture as the display photo to appear more believable.Expressing her frustration, she wrote, “Who ever this idiot is. Please stop writing to people and wasting time! Unfortunately this is weird. I feel bad for wasting people time.”The actor explained that the situation felt even more alarming because the fake account had been contacting individuals she admires and would love to collaborate with. Addressing the impersonator directly, she added, “This is not me! Not my number! On a lighter note the only good thing is, this crapy person is reaching out to people I admire and would love to work with! Very strange! Why would you waste your time to do this? Go get a life, not someone’s impersonator.”
