Actress Chahatt Khanna revealed in an interview that her ‘close friend’ had once subjected her to cyber crime. She revealed to Times of India that she had to suffer a traumatic experience. The actress said that cyber crime has witnessed an increase during the lockdown.

She said, “Let me tell you, it is so tricky that sometimes, you may not even realise that your social media account has been hacked. For example, if the hacker knows you well and uses the same password as you. This is exactly what happened to me. I recently had a showdown with an old friend of mine. I won’t take her name, but after that, a lot of things changed in my life. I started receiving marriage proposals online, random people started asking me out on dates, ‘I’ started sending friend requests to absolute strangers, and some nasty messages, purportedly sent by me from my social media handle, started surfacing. I was accused of the kind of things that I could never even think of. This is not the first time this ‘friend’ of mine has caused trouble. A close friend of mine had slipped into depression because of her.”

Chahatt said that she filed a police complaint online twice, but no action has been taken. “I understand that the cops are busy tackling bigger challenges, currently. So much negativity can take a toll on anyone. I am not very active on social media anymore. We call such people toxic, but they are actually people full of misunderstandings and jealousy, who can never admit their mistakes. They have to undergo a long process of learning and healing. I wish such people love and wisdom. Love heals everything, I hope it helps them and me,” she said.
