Mumbai: The WhatsApp account of the television actress Tejasswi Prakash, who starred in the show titled Silsila Badalte Rishton Ka aired on a popular OTT platform, has been hacked.
The actress said that the perpetrator is using her account for making vulgar video calls.
In a recent interaction to a web portal, Tejasswi revealed: "The person who hacked my phone is chatting with my contacts in a very friendly tone and sharing a link, asking them to send the code that they receive."
"Then, as soon as they send him the code on WhatsApp, he does video calling. Once you answer the call, you will see the most disgusting sight of a man performing an obnoxious act," she added.
Citing one of the most recent encounters, Tejasswi said: "Yesterday, I was busy shooting for a special episode for Colors TV in Mira Road. Suddenly, I got a video call on the set when I was surrounded by many people. As soon as I answered the call, I saw a nude man on it. I was shaken by the sight of it and thought to myself how disgusting it is."
The Golden Petal awardee said that some of her friends including industry colleagues informed her that they have received the dirty video calls too.

"I got a call from Karishma Tanna, Tanya Sharma and many other actresses. They were also shocked," she said, further adding, "it is embarrassing because first of all you are a girl and on top of that, an actress. As friends, they called me showing concern, but what about those who are just work associates and don't know me so closely? What would be their impression of me after this incident?"
The actress said that she'll be lodging a complaint in the respective police station soon.
She continued: "I called up cybercrime cell. They asked me to register a complaint at the police station near my residence in Goregaon. But since I was shooting till about 3 a.m., I couldn't go to the cops. However, I will be heading to the police station very soon."
Apart from Tejasswi, her Karn Sangini co-star Aashim Gulati's WhatsApp account has also been hacked.
