The actress is busy throwing out imposters from a micro-blogging site
Amrita Rao wants her identity to be undisputed on a popular micro-blogging site. And to this effect, the actress has filed five impersonation complaints recently. "In fact two accounts that were impersonating me have already been deleted by the authorities recently, and three others are under close scrutiny," she informs us.
The actress, who joined the site last year, got onto this trail after she discovered that her account had been hacked and that someone was impersonating her. She says, "I was off Twitter for a while. When I tried to log into my account three months ago, I was shocked to find that someone else was running it. The hacker was very convincing as Amrita Rao, with pictures of me on my sets or when I'd step out for an event. The ID had around five lakh followers!"
Amrita says, she just opened a new account for herself, and put up a status message about the imposter (she still has it up). "But this didn't work either. People continued to follow the hacked ID. And that's when I decided to approach the site authorities. My team provided them with my identification documents, and finally that account has been deleted. Meanwhile, I also found some more imposters and reported them as well."
The actress says she's okay if some is using her picture for as their display image, as long as they are being themselves, but she's not going to take people pretending to be her.
