Social media has been both a blessing and a burden for celebrities such as renowned TV actor Parth Samthaan. Although the apps enable celebrities to engage with their fans, they also provide a stage for scammers to deceive supporters by pretending to be their beloved idols. This is exactly what occurred with Parth.
An individual chose to leverage his reputation and notoriety to carry out a deceitful scheme. It seems a fake account was made on Snapchat, pretending to be Parth. After numerous individuals began following him, believing it to be the official account of the Seher Hone Ko Hai actor, the scammer reportedly started requesting inappropriate photos from women via video calls. Upon discovering the scam occurring in his name, Parth chose to inform his followers.
The actor from CID 2 posted a screenshot of the fraudulent account on his Instagram Stories. Warning his fans, the TV celebrity wrote, “This individual is pretending to be me and asking for inappropriate photos from girls via video calls." Please report this Snapchat account and block it as soon as possible.”
There are many actors who have been a target of fraudulence and certain people impersonating them in the past.
In 2012, Parth Samthaan entered the television world by appearing in two series at the same time. Throughout the years, he has gained significant fame on television, with millions of admirers appreciating his attractive appearance and impressive acting talent.
Parth is a well-known actor with 4 million followers on Instagram. Following his debut in Gumrah: End of Innocence, he appeared in Yeh Hai Aashiqui, Kaisi Yeh Yaariaan, and Pyaar Tune Kya Kiya. The actor also took on the character of Anurag Basu in the revival of Ekta Kapoor's 2001 television drama, Kasautii Zindagii Kay.
Last year, he appeared as A.C.P. Ayushmaan in CID 2. At present, he is leading the drama series, Seher Hone Ko Hai, alongside Rishita Kothari, Mahhi Vij, and Vaquar Shaikh.
