Anupam Kher's X account gets locked, actor questions Elon Musk: 'which post of mine did violate your rules...'

Having been an active user of the platform since 2007, the actor was surprised by the sudden restriction.

On Monday, veteran actor Anupam Kher expressed his curiosity about the suspension of his X (formerly Twitter) account, seeking clarity on which of his posts had allegedly violated the platform's rules. While his account has now been reinstated, Kher admitted to being taken aback upon receiving the suspension notification.

Having been an active user of the platform since 2007, the actor was surprised by the sudden restriction. However, the exact timing of the suspension and the specific reason behind it remain unclear.

He took to X and shared a post stating, "Dear X! Even though my account has been restored I was surprised to see it locked. I have been on this platform since September 2007. Have always been mindful of rules of #X (formerly twitter). Or for that matter any social media copyright rules. So found it a little absurd. Would love to know which post of mine did violate your rules? Thanks! @elonmusk.

The 69-year-old actor shared a screenshot in the post which said the actor’s account has been locked. The note read, "Your account has been locked because X received a compliant Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) Notice for content posted to your X account. Under the DMCA, copyright owners can notify X claiming that a user has infringed their copyrighted works. Upon receipt of a valid DMCA notice, X will remove the identified material.”

Anupam Kher was last seen in Kangana Ranaut’s directorial Emergency, which revolves around the Emergency imposed by then Prime Minister Indira Gandhi. The veteran actor has an exciting lineup of upcoming projects, including a yet-to-be-titled film with Prabhas, directed by Hanu Raghavapudi and backed by Mythri Movie Makers.

Additionally, Kher is set to appear in Vikram Bhatt’s latest directorial venture, Tumko Meri Kasam, alongside Ishwak Singh, Adah Sharma, and Esha Deol in pivotal roles.
