Rakul Preet Singh, a few days ago, warned her fans on social media against an imposter pretending to be her. The person allegedly used a fake number to pretend to be Rakul and chat with people on WhatsApp. This came just days after actors Shriya Saran and Aditi Rao Hydari shared similar incidents of impersonation. Rakul Preet has now broken her silence, sharing how she discovered the imposter.
Rakul Preet, while talking to Hindustan Times, shared, “I got to know about it only when my manager sent me snapshots of certain conversations." Explaining how the incident unfolded, she shared, “This person had reached out to a photographer in Chennai I’ve worked with in the past. The photographer messaged my manager saying someone was talking to him like Rakul, but he didn’t think it was me and asked if that was my number.”
