Chahatt Khanna Has Been A Victim Of Cyber Crime, Says She Received Online Proposals After Spat With A ‘Friend’

Chahatt Khanna has been through a lot of ups and downs in her life. The actress had faced an abusive marriage and has been battling depression. She recently opened up about her mental health and revealed that she had been in touch with her councellor via video calls. She has also taken time off social media and has disabled all her social media profiles. Now, the actress has also revealed that she had been a victim of cyber crime too.

Talking to TOI, Chahatt said that she has faced cyber crimes and has even reported to the police twice about it. She said, “I did file a police complaint online twice, but so far, 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. “

She also revealed that one of her so-called ‘friend’ might be behind it too! She made a huge revelation and said, “It seems, cyber crime has witnessed an increase during the lockdown. 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.”

Well, we need to be really careful about our behavior on the web and about who we call friends too, isn’t it?
